Just installed the rings. It was pretty easy other than jacking each end one by one and taking the nuts off. Just popped the ring in and i was good to go. Installed them on all 4 wheels.

I guess i did feel a difference. Cant tell as much but feels like the wheels are more stable than b4. As for the vibration, i guess it did minimize it. I already have the ISF steering damer so i think that got ride of most of the vibration in the first place.

It should be free when you purchase the wheel or around $5 for 4.

Did the rings cure your issue? I'm having an issue just like this and believe I too need rings.
