The hole in the centre of the rim is the hub bore. The hub is on the vehicle. Aftermarket rims are manufactured with a very large hub bore in order to address fitment for a larger vehicle segment. Hub centric rings are then used to reduce this large bore to the exact hub diameter (54.1mm in our case) of the vehicle being mounted on. OEM rims are manufactured with an exact dimension hub bore. This is what makes it difficult to mate some rims to another vehicle even if offset and bolt pattern will work.
