For anyone claiming a plastic hub centric ring will prevent snapped studs, go look at how little meat there is on the ring. It's not going to do anything except hold the wheel centered while you tighten the lugs.

Over torqued/stretched studs are a far more likely cause for the snapped studs. Look closely at the picture, you can see that the stud sheared off in the middle of the depth of the spacer, not at either edge.

If you hit something with the wheel hard enough to snap good condition studs, ring or not those studs are going to shear and the wheel is going to be toast.
