Brushed are no longer available? Can someone detail if they ever used the polished ones? Do you see any difference in the following rings? web page

Pretty sure it's the Mopar Performance reissue brushed ring that is no longer available. Wheel Vintiques also reproduces a brushed version of the rallye wheel trim ring, 3003b. I didn't have any problem ordering a set a few months back. It's my understanding that polished is correct for 70' and brushed is correct for 71' and up.

BTW, that last ebay link is my auction. I had ordered a set years ago while collecting parts for my resto, never looked at them. Turned out to be polished, replaced them earlier this year after reworking the Wilwoods so the rallyes would fit.

Not to jump off topic, but that sure looks like a nice '70 Firebird Espirit in background.

They are brushed. Check out page 58 of thier catalog. "B" indicates brushed.
