Twice this year, I have had to remove the beauty ring and re-center the air valve in the center of the hole. I tried rotating the ring by hand and it will not rotate. Does this mean that the tire is rotating on the wheel? This is a new 15x8 wheel with Nitto 275 on the rear. The air pressure was 24psi both times it has happened. I am now trying 28psi.
Thanks

The trim ring moved. Even if the tire slipped it will not move the valve stem unless you are running tubes. Yep.

I say trimring moved. Did this happen during driving or dragrace? After this launch my tires had rotated considerably on the wheels.

Spirited driving on street. I will pull that trim ring back off and bend the tangs to see if that helps.
Thanks to all!!

I agree. By the way Big Block, That is some MONSTER torque. Nice looking Hot Rod too.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

I pulled the ring today and bent out a lot of the tangs. Some of them were pushed inward and may not have been doing much. I will test this and keep an eye on it. thank you
