Post Trim rings Question

I have been wondering about this, but I haven't really thought about yet. However, it is on my highest consideration list of to do for my gas saving angel. How do you install a trim ring? Do you just pop that thing on the wheel? LOL

Be sure to try to clean the steelies up before snapping the trim rings on, just to make your life easier. They get pretty nasty covered up, but clean up pretty well with soap and water, or furniture polish if you want to go that route.

Assuming that your wheel has been covered up by a hubcap, its most likely accumulated a bit of dirt, grime, and rust over the past few years. You'll want to clean up that stuff to make your wheels a bit shinier. For instance:

That's from http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...an-glossy.html

My wheels didn't shine up nearly so nice, but it helped. Add trim rings to that and you've got hot looking wheels on the cheap. A more permanent solution is to spray paint them as BEEF did, which is for sure the better solution if you have the time.
