Hub centering rings, also known as hub-centric rings or hub centric adapters, are small rings made of durable materials such as plastic or aluminum. They are used to ensure proper centering & alignment of aftermarket wheels on a vehicle's hub. Hub centering rings have two primary functions: to eliminate vibrations & to provide a precise fit. When aftermarket wheels are installed, they may have a larger center bore diameter than the vehicle's hub diameter. This can result in a loose fit & cause vibrations during driving. Hub centering rings fill the gap between the wheel's center bore & the vehicle's hub, effectively centering the wheel & eliminating vibrations. This improves the overall ride quality & reduces stress on other suspension components. The centering rings are sized specifically to match the hub diameter of the vehicle & the center bore diameter of the aftermarket wheel. It is important to select the correct hub centering rings to ensure a proper & secure fit. When installing aftermarket wheels, using hub centering rings is highly recommended to promote optimal wheel balance, stability, & overall performance.
