The rings just help you get the rim centered on the hub until you get the lugs hand tightened.
So if I just drive the car daily, the plastic ones are good enough?

Yeah, they shouldn't be a problem.

Worse case scenario, if they melt, scrape 'em out with a screwdriver. But pretty unlikely in DD conditions.

They should be fine. I use plastic rings and I track my car. I've fried my brakes, but I've never melted a plastic ring.

Got a great deal on 2 Godspeed tow hooks. Now to set up my first track day

Although they ddint come with rubber grommet fillers. I have seen some people fill the gaps in the front and back with grommet. Is there any place to get some that I can stick in there? Rather not have dirt/water/rocks and other shit getting in.

Some people drill the plastic cover and put it back on. Looks clean.
