Has anyone came up with a solution yet for the gap on a 8" rallye rim with the trim rings?

No,....and don't be tempted to try the Corvette/GM 8" rally trimrings they won't fit...DAMHIK , the gap isn't that bad......it only bothers the owner because you know it's there

Yes , if you have the inside clearance , have your 15 x 8 ralley wheels made with a 5 1/4 backspace. Then they look just like a 15 x 7 on the front side and the trim ring will fit like you want it to....
I have had this done for a couple of people...

Thanks for the info guys.
I already have the rims unfortunately and have had them for years to I guess it is back to the 1" gap then.

You could send them out and have the backspacing changed .

Like the pic I posted above with 15X7 rings on the Wheel Vintiques 15X8, I actually prefere the "gap" the rings leaves, as it makes the wheel more pronounced in depth...
