HELP my stock wheels wont fit on my car correctly

i bought a new FD with Volk GT-C wheels and the seller gave me the stock rims with the car. I took the volks off and put the stock wheels back on. the problem is, is that the wheels do not fit completly flush against the wheel hub. there is a about 2 mm gap around which is really annoying me. do i need spacers to fit the OEM wheels back on? i am pretty sure i dont. what do you think my problem is?

Likely hub centric rings, that came off the Volks and were stuck on the hub.
