One more thing, what are the grey rings in the image below and are they necessary?
They are paper washers, there to protect the paint when you use the cup washers to attach the fairing panels on your motorbike. For holding your wheel to your fork, discard them.
went for some A2 grade from ebay.
I probably should have pointed out that I have plenty of blacked stainless M6×16 Torx countersunk, I can't remember whether they are A2 or A4, and it doesn't matter in this instance. Is it too late to cancel your ebay order? :-)

After much research etc. I ended up going for the RRE washers. Couldn't find any A4 grade bolts readily available in black so went for some A2 grade from ebay. One more thing, what are the grey rings in the image below and are they necessary? do they provide better grip for the bolts?
