I have a flat tyre and need to put an original wheel back on, the mag wheel shop never mentioned these rings though the are visible (yellow for me). It's fairly obvious but always good to see what to do before diving in. I did have to search a bit to find what they are called.

The space saver in my boot/trunk doesn't even fit the studs. Keeping the original wheels has finally paid off after all these years. Not sure what the story is with the space saver (looks original)... 🤷
