Default Speaker rings...need some opinions

Ok so I purchased chrome speaker rings a while back and they keep falling off due to crappy auto tape. They are pretty heavy for some double stick tape to hold on and they keep falling off and I have to keep reapplying so I am looking to do something far more permanent. I am up for any suggestions, please help me out. I have thought about supergluing these bastards but am unsure if I should, lol...let me know, thanks guys. Here is the exact product i've purchased and yes i'm aware of preparations that go into putting these on such as 100% clean surface using alcohol before application so please don't throw things out like that.

Don't think velcro will work, these rings are pretty heavy which is what I think is causing the 3m tape to fail. I'm thinking maybe gorilla glue or rubber cement and clamping them for a day or two to let it set?

Epoxy, or a bit of roughing then a glue-gun would be my suggestion if insistent on them.

In this case though I think them falling off might be doing you a favor...No offence intended, but it seems kind of like the equivalent of putting a chrome piece over the outer edge of the steering wheel but not the rest from that picture IMO.

gorillla glue is pretty strong, make sure you have it pressed up against something long enough to let it completely dry if thats the route you take

I think that's what I'm going to do. I'll just apply the gorilla glue and hold the rings to the stock ones via clamps for a couple days to ensure it sets.

Hot glue should hold them and believe it or not some good velcro is strong enough to keep it on there on the adhesive side and the actual velcro side.
