Hubcentric rings/wheels
I should have said NON hub centric, but anyway....
Anyone using wheels that are NOT hub centric..?
Can we hear some pros/cons using wheels where they use with the plastic ring to fit on the hub?
Just wondering if its a good thing, something to stay away from, any issues, problems, or just no biggie.....

i had wheels on my volvo that required the rings, though they weren't plastic. They were some sort of metal. Anyway, i never had any issues with them.
