Classic and Summit both have the 15x8 wheels but they don't offer the trim rings for the 8" wheels. Why would they manufacture and sell wheels that you can't find trim rings for?

Careful, your character's showing!

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.

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. 8075911-image.jpg (41 downloads)
