I don't believe that the factory ever made a 15×8, that's why there aren't any trim rings to fit. The regular trim rings will work but have a gap.
Yeah, but they are re-popping the wheels so why don't they make the trim rings too?

I went thru this last year. You would think that wheel vintiques would also make a trim ring to fit the 15x8 wheels they produce like they do for the 15x7's, but no dice. Your options are to use a 15x7 ring on all four and have a gap on the 15x8's or use the universal trim rings like i did that look basically the same at all 4 corners.
What type of universal rings did you use and where did you get them?
I'm not familiar with these type of wheels so I'm not clear on a path forward.

these are there 15" brushed rings, on my 15x8 SBP rallye on the demon. they dont look close to original, was thinking of using 15X8 corvette repops but i don't think they come brushed
Been there, done that with the 15X8 Ralley with the 15X8 Vette rings, they don't fit the Mopar rim well because of the retainer locations and the Mopar Ralley outer rim design, plus they just don't look right when your use to looking at the angluar Mopar trim ring...IMHO run the 15X7 ring, the gap only bothers you for awhile, you get used to it

These don't look too bad to me. What kind of rings are they and are they for 15X8" or 15X7"'s?
I was hoping for polished rings but may go with brushed.

Here are the polished ones. 15x8 first pic 15x7 second. Take your pick. These at least look the same on each corner.
