Anyone with Rays TE37, do you notice vibration?

About to pick up a set and realized the wheels can be run with either a hub centric ring OR a center cap but not both. I’m guessing they’re lug centric wheels but for those running the wheels with a center cap do you notice any vibration at higher speeds? Do the lugs center the wheel enough to keep it round on the hub? I love the look of the wheel but I’d want to run hub centric rings and not of a fan of the open hub look.

If you have conical lugs, you don't need the rings. As long as you tighten them in a star pattern, and then torque them with weight on the wheels, you'll be absolutely fine. I've ran race cars for years that way, and it's never been an issue. The reason we don't use rings is because of the extreme heat during braking, they'll melt if plastic, and weld themselves to the wheel if metal. So I promise you, your daily driver will be fine.

Yeah I’m not so concerned with the hub centric rings. I’ve used them plenty of times before without issue. I’ve also run wheels without them and it’s hit or miss on whether I get wheel shake. Just wondering how well the TE37s hold up without the ring for those that have them currently.
