get the rings just in case the rims need it. 90% of the time they do. you want your rims to sit on the hub and not on the lugs. besides it'll help reduce steering shaking.

I've run 6 sets of wheels on Hyundais with and without hubcentric rings and I see no difference at all. I also torque down the lugnuts in the air. Your results may vary.

^It makes everything easier from mounting to making sure the rim is centered before you tighten it down. For the price, they're really worth having to make everything easy.
