Curious as to why you(personally) wouldn't use hub rings with wheels that are a different hub bore. I understand the "lug centric", etc. stuff.I’ve been running Audi wheels with no hub centric rings for about 40k miles now.
No vibration or issues of any kind.

Plastic makes life easier, even if it means that you have to stock up on them and replace them every few years. Never had issues with ECS tuning's Alzor wheels, with 66.67mm center bore with plastic hub rings. But... I prefer to get wheels with 57.1mm hub rings that uses the stock bolts also.I'm considering downgrading my daily set up from the stock 18" Milton/Dallas set up to bronze 17" Konig Hexaform or Fast FC04. However I have always hated hub rings because every spring I have to get a chisel and hammer to free the plastic rings from the hub. Even if I put grease or anti-seize on when I install my winters in the fall.
Since these are going to be my summer wheels, they will see little to no salt. With this in mind, do I still need to worry about the hub rings getting stuck on the hubs when I do my seasonal tire changes or when I switch over to my track set throughout the summer? If no, should I get plastic or aluminum rings? I know aluminum is stronger, don't wear out as easily, and costs more.
