Bought a set of these aftermarket trim rings recently and I can not get them installed. The rings distort when I get them installed but they feel like they will fly right off. Any tips anyone can share? Thx.

never had any of the reproductions, but even back when i had my trans am new i would have to let the air out of the tire, rubber mallett it on and then air the tire back up.

This ^ usually makes a lot of difference.

keep in mind these were the original gm trim rings that came on the car new.

Label says the Parts Place Inc. With some effort I can get them on but they don't sit true/flush on the wheel so they look distorted.

PP might be where all the vendors get them from? Not sure who made the repro I have but they do sit off the wheel so you can see the clips but they aren’t twisted or distorted. Don’t know if you can still see the clips on the installed originals.

Letting the air out of the tires did help get them installed. Hope they stay on the wheels once I get out for a test drive. Thx all.

This pic was taken several weeks ago and B4 I installed the trim rings etc. I hope to have the 74 on the road very soon as I continue to work out final details. Thanks again everyone for your help and advice.
