I just installed the hub centric rings. It did fix the vibration everytime I put a brake at 65 to 70 mph. Everything is smooth now. Here are the pictures. If you got aftermarket wheels and got vibration...this is the first step you should do after balance the tires and it still give you vibration. It cost me $39.95 free shipping.
Picture 1. Hub center bore (also called Inner Diameter) without the hub centric ring.

--------------------
Pictures 2. Just before I put on the ring to the hub center bore.

--------------
Picture 3. After I put on the hub centric ring (no adhesive needed, it just stay there)

-------------------
Picture 4. Close up view. There is NO more gap between Hub Center bore and Wheel center bore (also called outer diameter).
The wheels are now centric to my hub center bore= no more vibration

anytime you install aftermarket wheels you should always get hubcentric rings regardless of feeling a vibration or not. It's just the safest way to go.

I know that now...but not a lot of wheels&tires places have these rings availabe due to so many different types of wheels manufactors and vehicles.

are the rings loose when its on the wheel and mounted on the car? I have some too but mines seem loose and my vibration is still there sometimes, i was thinking maybe the place gave me the wrong size....

Thanks

No, it's not loose. It fit very snuggly and tight between the car hub center bore and the wheel center bore.

are these rings made for certain brand rims?

^ no you can buy them for any rims. Typically aftermarket rims have a centerbore (hole in the rim) that is quite large, typically 73 to 76mm. Hub sizes for Toyota's are ~60mm, so the ring fills up the hole. Honda's are like 63mm, Nissan's bigger (generally speaking) Any good tire shop should sell them.

You don't need them for OEM rims as they are made to fit the hub perfectly.
