Default Pink Ring ?

When I bought my Konig 16" wheels they came with a small aluminium ring which fits as a spacer on the hub.

When I removed the wheels to mount snow tires 1 was gone. Don't ask me how since I haven't had the wheels off.

How important are these rings ? Can't say as I noticed any difference with 1 missing.

If they are important where do I find just one ?

TIA

they're hub-centric rings, its just so the wheel stays centered and doesn't move around...check your hubs sometimes they get stuck there lol...you can get them online, just got to know the size, last time i got a set of 4 for like $10.

OK I can see they help the wheel stayed centered but don't the lug nuts do that ?

Already checked the hub. Definitely gone

the hub ring makes the wheel perfectly centered so it doesn't move around, the lug nuts just hold the wheel on place weather is centered or not...

Thanks for your help guys. I couldn't, for the life of me figure out how I lost one. Then I remembered I had a tire store swap out the 205/65-16s on the front for 195/65s because of rubbing. They must have lost one.

No urgency but I ordered 4 more for $3 plus $10 shipping so all done I'm only out $15
