Important question - I just had my wheels put on yesterday, and I don't know if I need hub centric rings or not. They did not put them on, but I'm wondering if I need to add them. AVID1 Av20 18x9.5 wheels w/center bore of 73.1 on my 2018 civic w/center bore of 64.1. :/ Can anyone offer any feedback on what I need to do?

Yes, you should put hub centric rings on for a smoother ride as it may not be centered when mounted.

I didn’t have a problem running my wheels without them, but you can get a set for like $10. I didn’t have any issues, no vibration, no handling issues, no nothing. My old car ran without one for over 2 years without a single issue. But for $10, I didn’t really care. Just brought a set.

I actually just ordered a set of aluminum ones. I'll feel a lot better with them on. Gotta lot of dollars in my girl, better to be safe than sorry!

Contrary to popular belief, as long you mount your wheels properly you don’t really need them. I’ve never ran hub centric rings on any of my aftermarket wheels on my civic or my other project cars and they have been just fine. No extra vibrations or wheels falling off, etc. cause I make sure whenever I am reinstalling my wheels, to proper do so i.e - installing lug nuts in a star pattern, only hand tightening them when the wheel is in the air and then properly torquing them to spec when the car is on the ground, etc. But having them will give you peace of mind I guess. They do make adapter rings that will match the center bore of your hub to the wheel. Don’t get plastic ones as what others have suggested.

How do you like the Indy 500's?
Have you driven them in the rain?
