When I first put the thinner rings (1 1/2") on these rims, they were loose enough to rattle. I tried messing with the prongs on the back and still were too loose for comfort. So I ordered the 2" rings and they were fun to get on....very tight fit. I know these will not come off. I put the 1 1/2" rings back on the original rims that I had on the stepside and put them on the fleetside. I liked the color separation the rings gave me, but they are just not worth the safety issue of one coming off going down the road. I do order stainless steel rings as the chrome one eventually start to crack and fade.
Both sets of rings were sold for 60-87 chevy 15" rims, but there are obviously some variants. I didn't try the 2" rings on the 3 nubs rims, but I imagine they would have fit on those as well....just maybe tighter than the 4 nub rims.
