Others have shown you hub-centric rings. These are essential. But yet more crucial are the correct bolt. 986 factory wheels use a ball-seat type bolt. Many aftermarket wheels use a conical seat. Others have a centering shoulder that goes into the lug bore. Still others have a flat washer captive on the bolt. They are NOT interchangeable.

Me personally, I would be VERY careful about no hub-centric mounting. I've had my own wheels pass me on the freeway before when lug bolts broke. (Not the 986!)

I'm still scratching my head about what actually broke, or bent, in the accident you described. What did you repair?
