There might be some snap-on system on those rings (i really hope so!) that holds them in place. I believe that's the case with the 12" ones in that picture as there's pretty much no other way it would hold in place (unless with lots and lots of sikaflex ).

If it helps try searching for

Beauty Rings

or

Wheel Embellishers(check my speeling first)

[Purtsi]

These are by far the best looking ones:



..but the price tag is £89.99 Does anyone have used ones for sale???

by the way. The ones that cost £18.50 are made of aluminium. So far I haven't received information on how those can be attached.

Got an answer from the seller:

"They grip using steel teeth that are attched at the back of them. You will see the wheel around the hub caps between these trims."

Sooo... I ordered those and will post some pictures later for your joy

[D 'n A]

are you referring to the chrome ring around the hubcaps? Or the one piece 10 inch hubcap?

well I happened to have tried both on mine, here they are..

hubcap with chrome ring outside (i.e two separate pieces)




and this is with the one piece hubcap



hope you like

I have the same on my Van, love the look of them... but where did you get them white wall tyres??? me like!

[flamenco]

Aaannnd here are the pics:

mmm they look great!! Do they fit even wider wheels?? (maybe 10x6??)

D'n A, I bought those whitewalls from beedspeed, who supply parts for lambretta and vespa, but apparently their site is down at the moment. They are atlas 10 inch whitewall inserts, and yes they do make the mini look a bit different from the others!

I don't see any reason why those wouldn't fit to wider wheels but not sure how good those would look then..
