Wrong advice, they are needed 100% running without them means the wheel is only located with the bolts and you will get vibration issues etc.

Not worth the risk.

The bolts take 100% of the strain anyway. a flimsy bit of plastic would crack if there was much force between it and the hub. ive heard people say they get vibration issues but ive never had trouble not running them, but yes its worth it for a fiver
