HOLY COW! I just spilled my coffee! I cant imagine someone paying that for trim rings! Maybe I'll sacrifice them for a straight axle on my 55 chevy, my car came with 14x6 dog dishes... no sense in me hanging on to something that I have no use for...

Then they are probably 15x6.5 rings that were sold as 15x7's. Need to actually measure them or get a date with part number on the package. I have a set of NOS 15x6.5 ones from 1991. I don't think those are anywhere near 3-4K.

Correct,most "real" 15x7 trim rings(3" tall/deep) ones were shipped in bags and are not seen very often.Chrysler never changed the part number once they narrowed them up in the mid 70's and a few people think they have real ones only to be disappointed.

Correct.... and the 6.5 style are found to have this decal with a date and usually came in a box.

Hmmm this gets me thinkin... My car was bought from the second owner with a trunk full of NOS parts in 1988. So that would rule the early 90's rings out... Now when the last owner purchased the parts I have no clue. I know that she at least owned it since 1979. I would imagine that these rings are from the early 80s maybe late 70s. I don't have them in front of me because they are at the shop. I'll have to get some pics and part numbers on Friday. I do know that they are in a bag. The old paper backed ones with the almost yellowish looking plastic on the top. Never really put much thought in them cause my car came with dog dishes, and I have a build sheet to back it so I didn't want to go changing it up for looks. I do enjoy rally's, but I'm a purist and like my car the way it came. I knew that they worth a lot, but not that much. Hopefully they are the true 15x7 rings.

Here re some pics of the rings.. They all look like they measure out 3" depth... What do you guys think? Is it the "real deal"?

The printing and the packaging look too new.The only two real trim rings I have seen were in blue and white all paper bags/packaging....but you never know.Measure one out of packaging by holding a ruler next to the outer lip and see what the height is.3" or 2 1/2" I stuck a tape measure and they look like they are 3" depth.. I'd have to stick a straight edge on it to be 100%... I picked the cleanest packaged one so I get yall some good pics...the one that was stacked on the top shows a bit more age. The packaging is in great shape because they were stored in the trunk of the car..except for a few nibbles from the rats!

Looks like I have the 6.5" version. The date code is too late, and they measure out at about 2-3/4"? I suppose I could be measuring wrong...none the less, I'm sure they're worth something to someone...
