you don't "need" it but it doesn't hurt...depending on the wheel, you may have vibrations at high speeds without them....but no they are not mandatory like gas or steering wheel

if i go high speeds i get vibrations, but i think it's a tie rod cuz i had that before i put on the wheels. guess i'll take it down to good year and check. since it's free.

anyone at all running those rings?

Peace out

They are a good idea. Is the price savings of not using them worth the risk of snapping a stud or worse?

SC wheel hub bore is 60.06mm (2.36"),

find out what the bore is for those wheels (google it), then find a
60.06mm -to- XX.XXmm centric ring.
