Which is better

I am liking the wheels without the trim rings. Now for some better hub caps.

Re: Which is better

Yesterday I decided not to put the trim rings back on. I went to San Jose (about 50 miles one way). I had tire vibration at around 70 MPH and yesterday it was non existent, plus they used to rattle as I drove down the street. So if you have tire vibration and have trim rings try taking them off and see what happens.
