They're nice for "centering" the wheel, and taking the stress off of the lug nuts when you're initially tightening them, but ultimately, the lug nuts are what hold the wheel on, as well as force the wheel to center.
If you want to get super technical, they are added unsprung rotational mass.

Mike,
I got a set of plastic hub rings when I got my TC105Ns. I asked if they would melt and was told that they would be OK.
Should I take them off before I do a HPDE?
