Hi guys,
Question about wheel hub rings on track. I've read and was told mixed things from seemingly credible sources about whether or not to use them. On track, I'm running 17x9 Enkei RPF1 wheels w/ RE71R tires.
From what I'm gathering for the BRZ on the forums - the wheels are centered by the lugs since they're conical, and after proper star-pattern torquing, there is no load on the studs/lugs. My alignment/race shop and a customer of theirs this weekend claimed metal (aluminum?) hub rings are very much recommended because they've seen broken studs when not used. I tend to trust them because they have several years of track experience and STI/BRZ specific setups but I'm a sitting duck on this one.
What gives?

FYI - I also run the RCE T2 400/400 with their out of the box recommended settings for damper clicks and I wouldn't say it understeers at all on track. It could very well likely be your alignment setup; what are your alignment specs?
