A hub ring is a little plastic ring that goes on the inside of the rim. It helps distribute the weight off the bolts, and onto the axle. By not having them, you would run the risk of your bolts breaking. It would kinda suck to lose a wheel on the freeway! Your local tire shop probably wont stock them, but you can usually order the right size. And they're not that expensive either. I think like $20.

As far as I know they are needed for all aftermarket rims. Sure, he is right - your car will work the same without them... you just run the risk of loosing a wheel here and there. No biggie...
