Anyone make a decent 1971 Brushed Trim Ring for the 15 x 7 / 15 x 8 Reproduction Rallies





Not a stupid question.

Either price is ridiculous.

Wheel Vintiques does list 15" trim rings, both polished and brushed, but they can be spotted from the OEM trim rings, i.e. the outer edge is different in how the "creases" are.

Are the differences worth spending the extra? Not to me but, maybe to someone else.

Mike.

So no suckers took the bait at 7k and now at 3k. Hmmm... Call me hard headed but even if I needed them I could not buy from this seller if they were $500. Not into games and bs from ebay con men.

Shipping is now $250 vs $350.... maybe I should. NOT!

Thanx for all the info

Brushed and polished have been on back order apparently for some time now

Brushed have terrible reviews on most sites


OER sells a polished set of four on there website

Was doing a little research on taking polished trim rings and scotchbrite and


Anyways , Carlisle has always been hit or miss for me walking thru all those millions of vendors

Appreciate it
