I purchased a set also for my 2k2 and had the same problems. The larger rings were to small for my cluster by a mile. The smaller ones fit perfectly. If there is a fix for this let me know. If anyone wants my 2 larger rings you can pm for a price or trade.

Mine are a little smaller too and cover up some of the very small dashes inbetween the increments of 10. No one would notice though unless they are as **** as me. Over all I am very happy with the rings and my girl liked them too.

I just sent Paypal for $33.00. Please select the best condition of rings that you have left. I don't want to see the chrome plating chipping off. Thanks, NeilKlein

I personally cannot make you a set to fit a 2k however from what I understand all you have to do is slightly sand down the rings on either the big or the little... cant remember which one....

OK in my previous response I had said that they covered up some of the small dashes inbetween the main dashes for the increments of 10. Actually all the small dashes from about 50-80 were covered as well as some of the dashes in my RPM read out.

I recently took my cluster back apart and re-fitted them. This time instead of applying glue to the bottom of them and pressing them down, I applied glue to the top of them and pressed up.

This made a huge difference, the fitment is perfect and all my smaller dashes are back. Apply glue to half of the rings, then position the side of the ring that has glue on it towards the top, now stick the gauges in and press them up. This looks 100% factory and looks great, try it.

I had this same problem where the big rings did not fit properly in the bezel (too small). Needless to say I am not impressed at all with the fitment. I made them work, but they are not as good as believed.

****!! I have the same exact problem. The two smaller rings fit properly, but the large rings do not fit at all. They cannot stick because they are too small to have any contact!!! How do I go about getting an exchange for proper size rings?????

OK, just to keep track everyone who has had a problem installing these Chrome Gauge Rings (bought for $33) reply to this post with the problem. I suspect it will always be the two larger size rings not being large enough to fit, but state it in your reply regardless. Don't forget to tell the Make / Model / Year of your ride so we can start putting the pieces together.

Problem: 2 Larger rings are too small, and do not make enough contact to bond correctly. Also they are covering some of the readouts on the gauges.

I had this exact same problem. Most of my smaller dashes between the increments of 10 on the speedo and dashes on the RPM gauges were covered. I took it back apart and and put glue on the top half of the rings, then pushed them UP after placing them in the slots for the speedo and RPM gauges. I used to think that they were too small as well, but if you do this the fitment is perfect and looks like it came from the factory.

Very pleased with these rings now

I have this same problem as well with a 98 SE. The two larger rings do not fit right. Also, the glue really sucks...it didn't want to hold them at all unless you used a massive amount of it.
