I tried that and it seemed to bond reasonably using the "let's see if I can pull it apart" method. Looked good so I mounted it and it popped off as the ring was being pressed into the wheel. Musta used the wrong epoxy.
Any epoxy specifics out there?
Aren't they just supposed to be held on mechanically by the studs? Although the factory method obviously comes up short from time to time can you think of a way to mushroom them out to gain purchase.
