And I’ve always ran my rims without that little part you just had and I’ve never had any problems. If you torque your rims down properly, it doesn’t really matter for every day driving
It was also partially focused oncthe cleaning and reasing of the hub,Its to prevent corrosion buildup from the aluminum wheel touching the steel rotor,Which then turn into a problem when someones has a flat tire and has to take the wheel off and it wont because of it.
Depends on where your at. Up north you def wanna do that. Down south not really a requirement. Some rims have a tight tolerance and the aluminum and steel will corrode and won't let go. I've had to lift cars in the air and beat the ever loving shit out of them with a sledge on the back to get it to finally come off. It cost less than a dollar and is an insurance agsint problems
I guess I’m not sure how you could have “no problem” not torquing properly lol but regardless without hun centric rings it doesn’t allow the wheel to be centered you’d have to by a wheel with the exact same hub bore diameter and lug pattern, the lug pattern part is easy but the hub bore being exact isn’t always an easy option that’s why they were made, obviously haven’t been around the aftermarket’s for long if they “don’t matter”

I bet a lot of people don't properly torque their wheels either and still have no problem.

Exacto

Why is there bearing grease added to the hub surface? Take it on a drive and come back and remove the wheel and see where the grease went

That's a big ass fan.
