There's no way a centering ring does anything beyond hold the wheel in place while you're tightening the lugs. They're way too weak to actually hold a wheel in place with weight on it.

I run a truck that I converted from hubcentric to NON, but I like to have perfect centered wheels for higher speed use
On this vehicle/wheels, what kind of seat are the lugs? If you're running either bowl or taper seat lugs and manage to get a wheel on off center something was done wrong in the installation.

VW guys swear by them because they use thread in bolts instead of pressed in studs with lugs and it's a HUGE pain in the ass to get a wheel lined up if it isn't hubcentric, but if you can set the wheel on the studs it isn't so bad.
