Yes. I would insist on the same brand for all 4 or get money back on the entire order. If they didn't say hubcentric rings were needed, I'd also insist on 4 that don't require it and I'd inspect all wheels very closely before I spent any money to have tires mounted. I don't know about this parts supplier, but my experience with parts ranges from horrible to good. Many guys will say stuff just to make the sale and have no real knowledge or hide certain facts. Sometimes asking a few additional questions is important and getting a less than 100% correct answer can be a red flag.

Im suspecting that it could be down to the quality of the replica rim. It does not fit as tight on the hub as the 19" OEM I took off. Although they dont need hubcentric rings there is defo a tiny amount of play on the hub. Probably down to manufacturing tolerances not being as good as OEM.
The rear rims they supplied are a different brand and require hubcentric rings. I wasnt happy about this originally but thought if they drive ok Ill accept it. Shoud I ask for the same brand fronts as rears?
