I got some for free from the tyre shop that fitted my tyres. They're a hard plastic type material.

I can imagine most wheel and tyre shops would have them on hand...

If you get desperate I can machine some. So what do they usually go for?

What are they for?

With 4 wheel nuts, isn't the wheel going to be perfectly centred anyway?

the wheel nuts are only to hold the wheel up on the hub and hub and the center in the wheel should fit nice as this is what take all load on the road . the studs can brake off

Eastern wheels works.

add to this slop in non taper wheel fastening methods as well as non perfect pcd drillings will cause the wheel to not run true.

i just bought a set off ebay for $21.90 posted to my door.

they are used to centralize your wheels when they rotate and chances are yes, that they will 'centralize' fine without the hub centric rings but at $20 you might find your ride to become smoother with them.

also - people running wheels that have been re-drilled should use them to ensure the wheel is 100% centred
