I'm buying BMF Novakanes and according to some members on here they say the rings are needed. I've read the posts, but I'm still confused as to what size I need. I also read that they are an odd size and have to be custom made? If so then where do I get them custom made at?
Hub centric rings?

That's where I got mine. You need to know the center bore of your new wheels. I found mine on the manufacturers website.

But depending on how your wheel's center "hub caps" mount you might need their I.D. instead of the wheel's, (for the rings' O.D.).
If they are the kind that are spring loaded and stick on the front, after the wheel is mounted, then the wheel's bore size is used, but if they are like my aftermarket rims, that have a metal can that mounts from the inside of the wheel, (before the wheel is mounted), then you need the can's I.D. I originally purchased a set of 108 mm rings to fit my wheels, but ended up having to buy a 2nd set, that were 106 mm.

Titan ID is 77.8 mm. That is for a 2011 model. You can enter the vehicle info on that site and it will give you the stock specs.

I bought a pair of stainless steel spacers from chevymanrc so that I can replace the 320 mm rotors on my 2007 with the 350 mm rotors from 2008 and up. The 2007 hubs are 82 mm in diameter and the 2008 hubs are 90 mm in diameter. The spacers centre the new rotors with a larger hub hole on the smaller hubs rather than relying on the wheel studs to centre the rotors. The spacers are 90 mm OD x 82 mm ID x 8 mm wide. Note the camfered edge on one side to fit over the hub. If you want a pair, send a PM to cheymanrc.

Nothing like bringing a dead thread back to life 
For future reference, here's a link as to where you can find the 106mm OD - 77.8mm ID hub centric rings. It just so happens that my new wheels are the same and KMC offer the specific fitment rings through SFX Performance

I bought mine from this place a few weeks ago. They arrived in a beat up bag and one of the rings had a piece broken off. I used them anyways, but if I had to do it all over, I probably wouldn't buy them. They are pretty cheaply made and don't really serve much of a purpose. Just my .02.Nothing like bringing a dead thread back to life

Well thanks for the heads up. They hadn't shipped mine out yet because they were on back order (even though the site said 'In-Stock') so I called and cancelled them. Ordered right from Wheel Accessories USA ( Wheel Accessories USA Replacement Center Caps ) and they were shipped out within an hour! Cheaper too...
