Default Trim ring clips ?

On my Wheels trim rings there are 4 spot welded clips that hold the rings to the rims . Some of the trim rings only have 3 due to the fact one has broken off and is lost ...I'm afraid I may loose a ring , they wobble loosely by hand if moved
anywhere to get spare clips ? anyone have any banged up trim rings I can salvage the clips off of ?

Hi RM,
If the kind offer doesn't work out, you can by the new clips from various vendors. ZIP for one, has them in their catalogue.
