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.

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!!

Thanks!

Steel wheels flex always flex a bit. Even more with spirited driving.
I would probably look into a more positive way of locking the position of the ring.

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
