Cause they didn't give them to me when I got my tires installed.

Default If the rims don't stay in place w/o bolts, you need hub rings (more)

however, if the wheels stays in place when you
take your hand off it, then the wheel is hubcentric.

Default Yes and no...

They don't NEED them; the hubcentric plastic ring doesn't really carry the weight of the car, that's done by the bolts. However without it it's a major PITA to get the wheels on. Speaking as an A4 owner with Lola wheels, which initially came w/o hubcentric rings.

you forgot to add, hubcentric rings make wheel vibration much more unlikely.
