How important are hubcentric rings?
Bought some new rims but they didnt come with the rings. I know I can get a set off ebay really cheap but i was wondering how bad would it be if I drove around without them?

I don't run rings on most of my cars and it's never caused even a vibration issue. If the wheels are lug centric it makes no measurable difference. If they're not, that's another story.
