I downloaded some pictures from my camera and forgot to post this...Anyone who has aftermarket rims with those rubber/plastic rim rings may have the same issue I did where they are too loose.  With our stock hubs, I listed off newer aluminum ones that fit like a glove...here's the details.

New aluminum rings code, etc:

Look at the gap!:

Brian, I have those plastic rings with my American Racing mags and they fit my GT hubs just fine. You can see a bit of one of the rings in my thread Here. However, I bought these mags (with the rings) from a fella who had them on his PT Cruiser, so possibly that made a difference.

Kal Tire on Main Steet...that's why I posted the item details, CECO brand.  The plastic does shrink with the braking heat and more for me due to the racing season I had:)...they are the same size as you can see.
