What wheel parts am I describing?

Right then, I've removed the centre cap on my stock 17s and right in the centre of the wheel/hub section (not the cap) is a threaded thing about two inches across. What does this bit do?

 

Also, there is a hole in this part with a split pin through it. This pin appears to prevent something that looks like a cookie cutter from moving although it has some play in it.

 

What is the cookie cutter thing?

 

Next week: There's a red button next to my auto shift. What is it?;)

There we be a castle nut on the end of the drive shaft... looks like a but with little bits of metal above the nut head. Through the bolt there will be a hole, the split pin goes into the whole and through two of the castle nut bits to make sure it doesn't spin off...
