This is my first time installing an NOS Mopar brushed trim ring on a new 14x6 Coker (Specialty) Road Wheel. I have pressed it on evenly, but do not know how far down it should be positioned. I measured the trim ring. The distance from the underside of the polished edge to the end of the tabs is 1 1/4 inch. I then measured the Road Wheel. If I measure down 1 1/4 inch from the edge of the rim, that puts the tab just shy of a groove or recess where the tab of the trim ring could lock into. But it will not reach down that far. So I am assuming the these trim rings do not lock in, but are held in place by tension from the tabs against the inside of the rim. Am I correct? Should there be a gap or space between the edge of the rim and the trim ring? If so, how much? If the trim ring can be pressed on to where it is flush with the edge of the rim, will that make it difficult to remove in the future? There will be no gap where a screw driver, etc. could be placed for prying upward to release the ring. I purchased (4) part no. 2944424 20 years ago and stored them away. The last thing that I want is for the trim ring to pop off while driving.

Thanks,
David
