Aftermarket wheels have a hub that's larger than needed, so as to fit over a large amount of hub sizes on different cars. And without an adapter ring, an uneducated (or lazy) installer can very easily mount the wheels uncentered, especially since the stock lugnuts are ball-seat type, and will not easily pull the wheel back into center. And even aftermarket conical-seat lugnuts can be tightened down to the correct torque spec without having the wheel centered.

I went through 3 wheel bearings in the first 2 winters on my Prelude before figuring out what the problem was - my winter steelies being mounted without an adapter ring, and not being exactly centered. Found some hubcentric adapter rings to match the wheels, and drove the car for another 6 years without a problem.

Coasting with the engine off is your best indicator, but dangerous if you don't know how to bump start smoothly.
