hubcentric adapter question

i almost got this.

so the bolts hold the wheel to the hub...

you lost me. i thought that the hubcentric ring is there so that there
IS force applied from wheel to hub. otherwise there's an airspace and
the hub/wheel aren't touching and only the bolts are holding things
up. no bueno, methinks.

That being said, without

right. if everything's centered the wheel spins in something more
closely resembling a circle. which mine definitely are not since i got
no ringy dings.
