Default Do I need hub rings ?

Finally my set of Enkie PF01 and Toyo's are getting ready for delivery. The seller is offering me Aluminum hub rings for $35 a set.
Do I need that?
Will that make mounting the wheels easier?

Please help

Yes, get the hub centering rings. Otherwise, you're counting on the lug nuts to center the wheels on the hub.

Yeah. Whether they end up making that big of a difference (which I imagine your enkei's aren't custom fitment/custom made wheels), what's $35 on an ISF? It's a little bit of insurance to make sure your wheels don't come off and then you die.

But hey, you can buy 35 lotto tickets and then who has the last laugh if you win the lotto? AMIRITE GUISE!??!

Be sure to post pics of the PF01's. What size are you going with and what do they weigh in at. That is a great wheel for strength and low weight and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Much easier to mount them, instead of messing with centering each bolt afterwards. Slide on, zap, drive away.

And 35$ is great, I paid 30$ for my hard plastic/whatever ones, a couple years back. Just put some anti-seize on the hub where the ring will sit.
