No way! I have scruples.

Since we are quoting films today:

Can't you see this horse loves me?
Mister, I had a woman do that to me once, but it didn't make her my wife.

busted wheel studs aren't due to the missing ring

So what do hubcentric rings do?

Speedy comes all the way from Silverdale and I'm to lazy to drag myself up there from Renton more than once or twice a year? Guess I must be a lame-o.

Speedy showing up or not doesn't have any impact on the fact that you're a lame-o...

The plastic ones are to satisfy the bench racers so they can claim the wheels are at least as good as stock but "look way better" (bling, liggy style

)
The aluminum ones are indeed to carry load but the amount of "load" where that starts making a difference is not anything you've been experiencing. If you were loading the system w/ enough force to break studs off you'd have lost a wheel way before you broke off the second stud let alone a third.
Missing rings isn't your problem, OVER TORQUING the lug nuts is more likely.
