1985 HOnda ATC200s "Patch NH35M"

[KingPaul]

I took off both of my rear wheels last night to get new tires and I noticed that each wheel had these silver rings that I can only find on line called "Patch NH35M". The left side had one one the wheel (Outside) & the right side had two (Inside & Outside). What do these things do? I don't think they're more then an 1/8th of an inch.

Thanks,

They came stock w 4. Inside and outside. Lazy techs change the tires,,and don't put them back on..

So they really don't do anything correct?

probably strengthen up the rim/studs/hubs a little bit.
