sounds right
hub centric rings basically center the wheel on the hub of your ride i think. imagine having the wheel loose on your hub... you should notice a bit of play, thus making it hard for the wheel to be bolted exactly in the center of the wheel... the rings fix that

Well that and the lugs don't center the wheel on your hubs - this is what hub centric rings do. They should have come with your wheels for your specific car.
