Depending on the rims, I don't think you need hubcentric rings on them. Are you getting weird vibrations from the wheels?

I have hubcentric rings with the Rotas on Guinness and they're plastic, so I can't assume they do much structural work...

That said, I'm not looking forward to work today, either. Well, I am to the first part of the day and the end of the day, but not the middle...

Is this the same thing as a spacer ring? If so Tire Rack shipped my 17' with the spacer rings reversed front to back..people kept telling me my wheels were shimmying visibly, but I couldn't feel it ....took a while to figure out Tire Racks fock up ...they were good about it..and even paid to have the wheels re-balanced

wow. for Tirerack. Screwing up is understandable but striving to correct your mistake is commendable.

No, just make sure the right ones are in the right wheel! The wheel WILL NOT sit flush on the hub without them!
