rally rim trim

Does anyone know an easy way to secure the inner trim on the rally rims? I've tried needle noses and vice grips but I still get a little movement which I will hear going down the street. Thanks for any suggestioins

A small bead of silicone on the back side of the trin insert before you but it on will keep it from rattling.

There are two things I do on every one of those bezels when I install them. First, I squeeze the tabs on the small end to tighten that up. Second, look closely at the tabs on the large end and you'll see one that pushes against the edge of the hole in the wheel. Bend that tab outward before installation and rattles will be gone.

I removed all of them, squeezed the tabs in just enough for them to be snug when reinstalled. While I was at it and the wheels were all off, I replaced the tires and had the wheels refinished. One thing led to another.............
