Stop trying to get in the last word and admit: rings are not 100% neccessary to get a wheel centered, but they are a good idea, because they make centering a sure thing.
You just told me I am wrong but I am right.
Your basic premise is correct. That's why I don't understand all your arguing. The things wrong with that statement are:
Hubcentric rings are unnecessary. - well, yes, but they help a lot. no biggie.
They're there to make even torquing of the lugs easier when installing the wheels. - no, they are there to keep the wheel centered while you torque it. Close, but if that's what you meant, you didn't phrase it well.
They carry no weight of the car... - correct! It's all the friction, just like your math showed.
...and are not part of the problem. - wrong. If you mounted his tires, I bet he would not have an issue. I think that rings would let anyone mount those big, heavy wheels with no problems, and so if he gets rings, he'll be okay. That last sentence is the problem: this thread it about his problem, and rings will probably help fit it.
