Lot of misinformation about hubcentric verses lug centric floating around.
Hub centric is only really needed for seriously heavy or high performance vehicles or tube only, type nuts on heavy or high performance vehicles. Mums shopping cart will be perfectly fine on lug centric
Hub centric = wheels are centered by center bore of rim which matches wheel hub ring Lug centric = wheels are centered by common tappered lugnuts.
Modern cars use both methods

Now, presuming you are making use of the engines performance abilitys a lot, then you will need hubcentric wheels that fit correctly. If blinging up the shopping cart, yea Nah probably not important. If fitting seriously wider then stock rims & giving it a bit of a trashing from time to time = Yep, probably need both systems.

In the old days, rims were lug centric only & while fairly rare, sometimes rims fell off. Mostly from snapping those real skinny studs with super wide wheels AND giving it a thrashing. Modern cars have studs nearly 50% thicker & generally only hear of studs snapping from loony gorillas doing up the nuts far too tight with impact wrenches (or not at all).

Just get hubcentric rings and forget all the fluff above. eBay have loads.
