Question........Broke Plastic PIece That Came with rim

[WickedMethod]

I was taking off my 18's to put the Stock back, So I could Give Em a good cleaning........When I first took one of the 18's off and tried to put the stock ones back on, i ran into some problems. For some reason the Wheel would not go back on, I noticed that it was uneven, so i kept trying, After 10 min or so, I took the stock wheel back off, and notiiced there was this plastic round pieve around the wheel hub, it was sorta of like an adapter, Its hard to explain i've never seen it before..............but I broke it when i was trying to fit the Stock back on.........It needed to come off in order to get it back on.............My problem is that i am no short one of these plastic things..........To me it doesnt look important, but i am affraid to put the rims back on without....Anyone know if this thing is really that important or even what i am talking about??

It's called a hub centric ring. It was on your 18s and probably stuck to the rotor from rust and grime. Just call the company you got your wheels from to get another.

It helps to center the wheel on your hub instead of using your lugs to center the wheel (which is the wrong way).
