108mm to 100mm conversion....

[Per Lindgren]

The hub-centric ring is to keep the wheel centric, on modern alloys this
one is made out of plastic and is exchangeable to fit several different
hubs. The studs kinda takes the load, but it's really because the wheel
is pressed or clutched to the brake disc/spindle/hub that takes the
load. It is sorta like your clutch can take 300 hp of chipped 20vt :-)
