Hub rings: What's the deal?
Got these for my 16" Gram Lights on my 00 Si and they don't fit inside the rim, so I'm thinking they sent the wrong size? What size do I need and where can I get them? Is it okay to drive on these without them in the meantime?

I have never used hub centric rings and have never had vibration problems.
Just make sure you use the correct style lug nuts and you should be ok.

hub rings are a joke... no need, just use cone seat lugs for aftermarket wheels and you wont have a problem. Worked at a tire shop for a year and always told customers they were ****... so put your rims on and go pick up some hoes!!!

i've heard that the centric rings are suppost to seat the rims correctly on the hub and to prevent vibration. but IMO i don't see how it would help because the lugnuts are seating the rims on and how would the centric help any?

Re:
IF you put your lugs on correctly, the hub rings are not needed and will not help or hurt. If you dont put them on correctly (some shops are REAL bad) then you may have vibrational issues, tho with the rings on, i dont know how you can put the lugs on wrong.

they help to spread torque evenly, but if you use a torque stick to torque everything down and then use a torque wrench and do it right they dont do anything... the only time id ever put them on would be for 18"+...
