I bought wheel skins to use for the time being since I don't have the cash for new wheels. They look great but they make a loud chattering noise whenever I hit the slightest bump. Does anyone have a solution to stop the noise? I was thinking sticking felt strips to the wheel behind the skins to stop it but if someone has a better solution I'm all for it. Thanks!

Are they completely snapped on to the wheel?
I have the skins and I haven't had any issues

I'm pretty sure they are but I'm going to check them this afternoon. All 4 make noise and I can replicate the noise just by pushing on them so I'm not sure what's going on. I've never had them so I wasn't sure if this is a normal problem or not.

I found the problem, I bought black lug nuts to replace the chrome ones and theyre not as big at the base as the stock ones. I replaced 3 of them and that tightened up the skins. So I'm going to paint the oem ones black and put them back on and that should fix the problem. Thanks for the help!
