Do I need hub rings for a Rota wheel that has a hub of 67.1?

Hey guys, I just recived a set of Rota group N's black with red lip today. The size is 15x6.5, 40 offset, 4x100, and 67.1mm hub for each wheel. Do I need hub rings since the MINI;s centerbore is 56.1? If I did not get the hub rings, will I feel vibration at high speeds? I am guessing I would have to go with a hub ring that is 56.1mm/67.1mm for a proper fit.

Help is needed!!

Yes, you should get hub centering rings for your new wheels to bring them to the required 56.1mm center bore.
This will ensure the wheel stays in the proper location while the lug bolts are evenly tightened.
You could mount without them if it is only a matter of a few days until you can source the centering rings, but for the long term, get the rings.
