Lug-Centric vs. Hub-Centric

[Modded]

Hey guys, I was looking around and planning stuff for my wheel upgrade (24s) and came across this question. I know there are alot on here running 24s so please tune in no matter your year.
The stock Tahoe wheels mount against the hub and balance out before the wheels are mounted, then with the use of the stud are held in place (hubcentric).
While I heard most aftermarket wheels use the wheel studs to bolt on and hold the weight of the vehicle while the hub isn't really used at all (Lugcentric).
The main question here is what are you'll doing? I have read lugcentric is never good unless hubcentric mounting is not possible. I also read that lugcentric causes vibrations because its hard to balance a wheel properly with only studs (many on here ask about vibrations after aftermarket wheel were installed).
So is a hucentric adapter a good idea to keep the stock design, any links you'll may have to them.
Thanks!

I have some vibration, which "might" be attributed to the lugcentric wheels. I'm going to be getting some hub center rings or some type of adapter to install very soon so cut that down some...

Most decent quality wheels come with a hub centering ring, that fits perfectly in the rim and perfectly over the hub

Thanks for the input so far, any more?

Hubcentric is best, not only for balancing, but also so the weight of the vehicle isn't resting on the lugnut studs alone. Use hubcentric rings if at all possible. If I don't have a vehicle specific wheel setup that will fit perfectly over the hubs, I'll use rings to make sure everything is perfect for balancing and safety.

When I was shopping for my wheels the manager at Les Schwab Tires said he'd never put lugcentric wheels on his truck. Didn't ask why, just took his word for it and got hubcentric. All the weight on the lugs just doesn't sound like a great idea to me. For what it's worth.

Yeah to me it sounds like a horrible idea, I remember you from TF!?

If you get a set of lug centric Wheels def. make sure you get hubcentric rings or your truck will shake like crazy under braking. When I put a set of Boss 330's on my 08 Silverado they would shake the whole truck while braking but after I put the hub centric rings on it stopped it! Just a heads up dude.

I have hub centric wheels, I was told to stay away from lug centric.

Thanks for the input.
Alright I'm def. doing hubcentric setup not.
Where do I get the rings?
Whats the difference between the plastic and the aluminum/metal ones?
