Default metal hub rings

i got a set of 18" wheels.
first, i did not have the hub rings and the ride is pretty smooth.
since the wheel works' guys suggest that i should add a hub ring on since there is some space between the "wheel mount" and the "wheel hub".
then, i add the hub rings and i notice some noise coming from the wheel.
does anyone have this kind of metal hub ring noise?
do you think having the hub ring will make any difference?
the wheel works' guy said i may feel some vibration at certain speed...(like 60mph?)

any thoughts?

thanks,

umm, are you sure the hub rings are of the right size? if they are right, they shouldn't really have space to move around, so you shouldn't have noise. what kind of noise is that, metal to metal? squeak?

i believe it's metal to metal rubbing noise...
i also found that i need to replace the front tie rods.
i think i will just take the hub rings off as soon as the tie rods are replaced......
