They are aluminium on a solid steel rim. The car is a 1960 Chev.

Glue them on with silicone sealant glue.You can buy it in a tube,you just need to get hold of a Silicone gun to squeeze it out. Just carry a screwdriver in the boot in case you need to get the hubcap off in order to take the wheel off. I did this with my 1960 Vauxhall Victor chrome wheel rings.

If you use any silicone based product, I would only apply 4 or 5 dobs spaced around the rim. Have seen people go to the trouble of making a bracket that fits on with the wheel, that has a centre stud so john can drill a hole in the centre of the hubcap for the stud to poke through - and screw on a spinner. Which doesn't look out of place on the right car.

So, its just one of the options for a secure solution. If you want to make holes do it that way if you like none glue it as above. No right answer just what one prefers. Johnf_456

Achtung ! Warning ! don't use acid cure silicone ! get "neutral cure" the acid cure will start corrosion! (sgrants on bigblockf's pc!)
