After 26 years of listening to the clatter made by my trim rings, I removed them and enjoy the ride much better. However, I don't like the wheels as much without the rings, plus the paint is scarred where the keepers bit into it so that's unattractive.

My question is: what can I do to quiet these down? I don't know the manufacturer, possibly Speedway, and they look to be high quality. The problem is that while they snap on tight and there's no danger of losing them, and they don't come loose, they chatter and ring every time I hit a bump in the road.

If it will help, I can post of picture, but it's the car associated with my login and should appear in the post already.

I searched for any ideas prior to posting this, but if this has been asked and answered, please let me know where.
