Man you seriously paid 30 to have it installed, it would probably take an extra 5-10seconds to do if you were already installing the wheels in the first place. Also not that it matters but its a ring that fits around a smaller protruding ring thats on the hub

I do not have hubcentric rings on my RX-7 and no shaking with my Enkei's.

My Mini has Kosei K-1's for the second time (long story) the first set did not have the correct center ring shipped with it and it worked fine without them as well.

Are you saying you cannot get your lugnuts tight? As long as they are torqued down you should not be having a problem.

Did you make sure your tire is not out of round? I had that happen with a cheap set of Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's but, again, you get what you pay for.

the hubcentirc rings are nut required but without them u have alot of extra stress on ur lugs which under a few circumstance could cause them to snap. Under normal driving u should be fine.
