This is of course here-say (sp?), as I really have no idea.
I have 12's with the rubber ring (NOT the rubber run flat... there was that option too, I have transported one for a buddy... I wouldn't want to try to jamb one of those bad boys into any tire) and I haven't had any issues, but at the pressures that we run, I can't see any downside to the 8's once you've cut the magnesium (alloy?) runflat off...
And yes, the bits that you cut off and the dust that you make, all make the campfire a little more exciting... TRUST ME. (you can easily turn the dead of night into daylight)

Thanks, I think I am going to stick with the 8 bolts. Truggy, I will PM you info on the other h1 rims
