I made my own buy getting polished ones, and brushing them myself. I did the same thing. The ones I bought have an extra lip around the inside like the 69 "one year only" rings and the valve stem hole is shaped differently. For a total investment of $120 they look decent.

Yes, those are the ones I started with. When you're reaching the end of a project and it's "nickel and diming" you to death...then you realize that the correct trim rings aren't available(for a reasonable amount of money)...the above rings are a good alternative to getting the car on the road. I don't have a close up of them. I've had them on and off the rim a few times. They come off easily. I can always replace them with "correct" trim rings down the road. I'm happy with them so far.

Thanks to all of you who left comments on these trim rings. Ive had 2 N.O.S sets in the past but stupidly sold them i should have kept 1 set.I sold the 1st set for $600.00 US which i thought was alot, the 2nd set went for $800.00 that was at least 5 years ago or more. I have a beautiful set of 4 14x6 Motor wheel Spyder wheels in mint condition with 6 N.O.S Bullet Medallion chrome center caps and 20 correct pointed chrome lug nuts stashed away for my car i love the look of them but id like to have another set of wheels to change up the look on my car. I think ill give up on the trim rings and buy 4 new Team 3 five window wheels they look real cool too.

Hello i know that the OE trim rings found on 72 and up A-bodys are super expensive and hard to find ......... Glad you pointed that out: I have a set I was going to run on my winter-beater this year!
