need help with volk rims

hey guys,
I recently bought some used volk Le37t's, and the person i bought it from helped me put on the wheels. I ended up not using any "spacers" and also ended up using my OEM stock rim lugnuts. Does this sound wrong? Should i have spacers on those wheels or am I in the clear. Need help. Thanks

PS: I already drove home on the wheels....so i hope nothing is damaged.

Why do you assume you need spacers? The whole point of choosing a wheel that fits is you don't need spacers.

What are the offsets and sizes of the wheels? If you don't know, it should be stamped on the rim or lip.

Maybe he meant centering rings, not spacers?

what are the centering rings everyone is talking about? I remember i tested some GTC's on my car and the guy had some aluminum spacers so the wheel would fit better. Just seemed different cause the LE37ts didnt need those aluminum rings...Im not sure if its becuase the guy who sold it to me forgot about it or it just doesnt need it. =/ Also when i tried on the GTC wheels, i had to use seperate bolts and lugs so it would fit, but the LE37T's just used stock OEM bolts. JUst need some input, thanks guys.
