alloy location on hub

On a car a wheel locates & centralizes on the center hole in the wheel & the bolts/studs just actually hold it on. some after market wheels use a plastic ring in the back of the wheel to get to a very precise fit. I've just fitted 3 new tyres on my eriba because there 6 years old, the wheels are original and immaculate but there not a tight fit on the hub and have to locate on the bolts. I'm thinking of emailing Hymer, has anyone else come across this before. i should add i'v had 40 + years in my own tyre business.

How old is the Eriba and do you know if they're the original alloys or retro fits? Any pics of the wheels? Someone may be able to see if they match other Eriba Owners wheels.

First time i've tried attaching pics (my wheels and hubs) hope it works ok. My eriba is a 320 2015. This is regarding alloy wheels fitting on hubs, they are pretty mint and i would say there original with being a GT

I initially doubted the wheels are original equipment as the 2015 brochure I have shows 6 spoke alloys. Looking a little further a 2016 model for sale in Norfolk does sport the same wheels as yours so odds are they are original.

The wheels look better when I put the center caps back in. Just fitted 3 185/70r13 Vredestein all season tyres, polished wheels both sides & waxoil round center of hub & back of wheel to try & stop the dissimilar metal reaction. There reasonably mint & I want to keep them like that.
