So OP, just tell the retailer that you need the right size hub rings and you're set. For a manufacturer to make wheels hub centric without having to use rings would cost you a fortune. To sell them to the masses, they make x amount of different size hub openings and then use rings (which are pennies to them) and send them to you. You're worrying for nothing.
