    I think they should be called "wheel donuts." Everything shaped vaguely like a donut should be called a donut. From now on, o-rings, spigot rings / hubcentric rings, piston rings and c-clips shall all be known as donuts. The only toroid not to be called a "donut" will be donuts themselves, which shall be henceforth known as cake rings. I don't care what confusion it causes.

    Oh yeah. Tires/tyres are donuts, too.

    Brand new rims doesn't necessarily mean they aren't bent, and tires that look in good shape can be rubbish. Look for the cause of the problem, rather than randomly changing front to back or whatever. For example, are you using aftermarket wheels that require hubcentric rings? If so, are they installed? Etc.
