sounds like it could be tire balance.

Did you have tires mounted on the wheels?

Did they balance your tires on the new rims? I'm saying it sounds like a balance issue.

And no, you don't need spacers, and i doubt you need hub rings, the lug nuts have a cone shape and should center the wheel as you tighten them down.

I have no idea, just make sure you get a good tire balance so that it rules out that possibility. Then start narrowing it down.
