Default noisy trim rings

Ive done some searching, but havent really found nothing on the subject, so here goes:

Im running steelies with trim rings on my wifes Xb... they are the chrome steel ones, not plastic or stainless. Anyhow, them suckers are MASSIVELY noisy. Is there anything I can do to shut them up?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Matt I was thinking about doing that to my XD but can't find any center caps. Are you using them?

Rick, Im currently not running any center caps, as I can't find the ever popular Toyota ones that everybody likes to run... I know NAPA sells a dust cap that will snap in and polish up well, but I havent bought any yet. There is a thread on here called "bling rings with Hub solution" that has part numbers for the dust caps I was speaking of... I'm really diggin how they look without them though. Here's some pics of my set-up:
