hubcentric means the wheels are center on the hub just the oem wheels. the center bore (ie hub size) of the wheel is what fits over the hub. typically most after market wheels have a larger center bore to allow them to fit on many different cars (typically some where in the 73mm range). ideally you want to center your wheel on your hub (hubcentric) instead of your lugs. in order to do so you get hub rings that match your cars bore and your after market wheels center bore.
for example lets say your wheels have a 73mm center bore, then you would order hub rings that are an ID (inner diameter) of 60.1mm (lexus hub size) and an OD (outer diameter) of 73mm (to match the center bore).
9 times out of 10 when people get after market wheels this is why they have vibrations at high speeds. they usually do not order hub rings.

Another thing that can make your wheels vibrate is not using a torque wrench and hand torquing the lugs on. those using tire irons beware this can cause warping of rotors and vibrations. its hard to torque each lug the same by hand without a torque wrench.
