It's safe to mount your wheels without centering rings. Just carefully finger-tighten each lugnut in the hole, wiggling the wheel to get the lugs all properly centered. Then evenly torque in a cross pattern. I do 30-60-89 lb-ft in three steps. Do whatever makes you feel secure. The fellow who owns Goodwin-Racing discusses this somewhere on his website, if it interests you. |

 The hub is supposed to help take the load of the vehicle on the wheel, not the studs. If you put all the load on the studs, they will stretch and fail at some point.If you're only talking about lateral forces, then it's all on the studs but forces along the forward, backward, up and down direction like hitting potholes, accelerating and braking should be taken up by the hub. |

Rings can be metal. They were supplied by the wheels I got, Enkei GTC01's and are snapped in place. I suggest contacting the wheel manufacturers or one of the tire installers like Discount Tire or Tire Rack for advice.

I got mine "free" through the guy I got my [f'ing too expensive] "racing" Rays lug nugs. I saw the tire guy putting them on and it seemed liked it should relieve some stress from the actually lugs. For $20 I think it is worth the extra assurance.

Discount Tire Direct sells hubcentric rings through both eBay and the phone. Give them a call.
