Maybe it's only me...but i'd use the rings even solely for the fact that they help distribute the weight on the hub/bore. I've seen it happen a couple of times where people sheared off their studs after hitting a nasty pot-hole and they were running their rims with no rings putting the whole weight on the studs.

Plus you can get the rings for $10-15...is it really worth it not to?

Well for me personally my rims are not too light. So constantly trying to hold them centered while trying to put the nuts on is just redonk. As far as vibration, Ive got a pretty good one when I get to about 60mph. Im pretty sure I need an alignment but when I had my stock wheels on it wasnt nearly as bad. I plan on getting the rings, I just need to find the right size. On another note, do all hubcentric rings act as spacers? B/c im pretty content with the fitment and I dont really want them to move out any further.

No. Depending on their size, they're like really thin, but thick, rubber bracelets. If that makes sense, lol. They're relatively small, inexpensive and, as far as I know, shouldn't act as a spacer.

Again, depending on size needed, they'll be thinner or thicker.
