The first character of both words are pronounced same as "실". The second characters make the differences. "실례" is pronounced just as it is written. "신뢰" is read as either "실뢰" or "실뤠".
To be personal, I read the second one as "신뢰". Actually I just found out today that the standard pronunciations are "실뢰" and "실뤠". (reference)
Added: As @WEBjuju commented below, 'w' sound will be heard in "신뢰" meanwhile 'y' sound will be heard in "실례".
Native Korean here :)
실례 -> [실례]
신뢰 -> [실뢰] -> [실레/실뤠]
For speaking, [ㅚ] is pronounced as[ㅔ/ㅞ]
