Hub centric IMO is needed when an aftermarket wheel is not lug centric with shank lug nuts.My brick is street strip,gets over 1000 miles cruising every season and on a good year I get 50 passes at the track at almost 150 mph......so far. If using stock style rims and lugs the hub centric would be desirable.

Not all wheels are hub centric. Some are lug centric. First of all, MANY aftermarket wheels are not hub centric because because to make every design of aftermarket wheel's center bore specific to every manufacturer would be ridiculously cost prohibitive OR the selection would be extremely limited. "some are lug centric" - well actually ALL are lug centric ... or they wouldn't fit the car now would they !! In reality, they're NOT lug centric, that's just the bolt pattern, but modern manufacturing equipment and processes keep the tolerances tight enough that they could be considered "lug centric".

It's more of an issue with later model stuff that have large diameter wheels and low profile tires. A tall sidewall tire will absorb some of any potential out of round (not centered) vibration. Back in the 80's I ran a custom wheel and tire store. The only hub-centric wheel issues (vibration) that we ever saw were on ultra low profile tire and wheel combos on the more exotic type cars (Porsche 928 S4, etc). The hub centering rings are a good way to help eliminate the possibilities of vibrations.

[as always, TIA ! ] I cut these down on my lathe to fit LINK i was thinking about doing just that. easy to do. how tight of a tolerance did you use ? i was thinking "tap in fit" [OD] for the wheels, and .003-.005 larger ID for the axle flange hub.
