Default Rotor spinner rings

Do stock rotors require spinner rings? Mine did not have any on when I replaced them. If so who might sell these?

Thanks

i saw them on some aftermarket rotors they looked like a thin retaining ring over the wheel studs to keep the rotor from shifting, but I guess the lug nuts will do the same thing

ok, yah the wheel holds the rotor in place. i have not seen them for the camaro,,, as far as that goes i havent seen them on any of the gm cars or trucks ive done brake jobs on. lol i work on my own vehicles and do a favor once in a while so my experiance with different setups is limited.

I've had what you're talking about. They've been either like a star washer (sort of) or a spring washer that's a wedge fit onto one of the studs, and you have to snap or force it off to remove the rotor. It's there from the factory to keep the rotor in place during assembly. You don't need to put one back on, as the wheel holds everything in place.
