Shelby Razor hubcentric Rings

For all that have the 18x9 Shelby Razor wheel, do you need Hubcentric rings or are the lugs good enough for centering the wheel.

They are lug centric. Do a search on here there are several threads about this. I had a slight wooble problem and tried the rings they were no help. Aftr the problem was solved I took the rings back off and felt no difference at all.

Yeah, if they are lug centric then hubcentric rings dont really bring much to the table. More importantly, you need to make sure that when the wheels are balanced the shop doing so is using a pin plate of some sort to simulate the wheel being located by the lugs on the car, if not, there may be balancing issues.

I would never buy wheels that aren't hub centric. Lug centric just doesn't work and if it does for you you got lucky next time you bolt on the wheels it may not. The lugs are simply not made accurate enough. Getting the wheels off center relying on the studs is stupid. Sorry I thought people knew this already amazing after all these years of crap wheels not locating properly companies still sell lug centered wheels. Yes rings of good quality will work there are junk rings out there beware.
