You want fresh new wheels, but they are not quite the exact fit. If your wheel doesnt fit snuggly on the hub you will have issues with vibrations. These hub rings resolve that issue, allowing your aftermarket wheels to fit tightly to your hub.

What are hub rings used for?They fill the gap between the wheels center bore and the hub on lug-centric vehicles. This aligns and centers the tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle, helping to minimize vibration. |
Do I need hub rings for my vehicle?If your wheel center bore is a larger diameter than your hub bore, you will need hub rings. Aftermarket wheels are typically designed to fit as many cars as possible unless they are custom made for your specific application. |
Are plastic hub rings strong enough?Hub rings do not bear a load. The weight of the vehicle is supported by the friction between the wheel and its mounting surface on the axle. The friction is established and maintained once the lug hardware is properly installed and torqued to specs. |
Plastic: Best for street cars in areas where rain, snow and road salt are a concern.
Metal: Better for race cars and other vehicles that get driven harder, creating more heat.
