Default Hub Centric Rings or Not - XD Hoss
I finally decided on a wheel, XD Series Hoss Black, and I was wondering if I needed to order the hub centric rings or not. The vendor said they were not needed, but I was wondering what you guys have done - Rings or Not?

Rings! I tried running my non hub centric rims w/o rings and got a bad wobble. Rings made a big difference. "I have Black Rock" 17" Type "D" Alloys.

if yo uget wobble from a non hubcentric wheel

you are out of balance

your tire is out or round

your wheel is bent

OR YOU DIDN't INSTALL THE WHEEL RIGHT! (9 times out of 10)

make sure you have the right style lugs and install in a cross pattern....

Or you drove over freshly filled cracks in the road filling your 1/2 deep lugs full of tar . . .

Do it right the first time. Hubcentric is the right way.
