Ok for a wheel newb can you explain the need for hub centric rings...and can you not use both rings and center caps?

The fronts don't poke, the fender overhangs the tire by a very small amount.
Hubcentric rings fit between the wheel and a raised lip around the center of the hub. Using a hubcentric wheel or rings directs forces acting on the wheel to be transferred directly to the hub rather than the lugs. It a stronger way to mount the wheel than just the lugs.
As for using rings and caps together, normally you can. But from what I understand, these particular wheels are milled in such a way that it is one or the other, but not both.
