I shared this story with Daniel. I thought others might get a kick out of it.

Daniel, A funny story around these trim rings. I can remember going into the Dodge dealership around 1980 and ordering these trim rings. The funny thing was it was a "crap shoot" as to whether you got the right ring. I can remember the correct ones would come in the white/blue sticker Chrysler" boxes where the incorrect ones would come with the red/white/blue Mopar boxes. After I got my first "incorrect" 15x6.5 ring I brought it to the parts manager. He would order another one and after a few trys, I would get a good one. Finally, I needed another full set. A new order generated 1 correct trim ring and 3 wrong ones. He already knew the story and I just happened to be at the dealer when the zone rep was visiting. I explained the story to him and showed him the two rings, with the same part number, that were obviously different. He appologized for the problems and invited me to visit the parts distribution center in Tappan New York. A buddy and I made the trip. It was very cool. A warehouse filled with tons and tons of parts. He walked us to the bin which had the trim rings and we personnaly picked out that last eight old style boxes containing 15x7 trim rings from the bin. That was around 1981 so there has been nothing but 15x6.5s since then.

Count me in for a set of brushed!

I would take 2-3 sets of polised and 1-2 sets of brushed ones, but only if they are 100% correct, and somewhat reasonably priced.
The 14" rings are still available, part number is 2944424. They were priced around $30 each a few years ago, now they are over $100 each! What's the reason for such a huge price increase? I guess I shouldn't complain, at least they're still available.

Daniel: I believe the old addage is true: Build it(correctly and accuartely) and they will come! All these replys should overwhelmingly indicate that there is a very large demand for these, AS LONG AS THEY ARE CORRECT!! I hate to say this, but with the amount of stuff that is being remade and remade WRONG, it would be a really great idea if someone(like maybe you Daniel) would lend some quality control to this project(if it gets off the ground) to ensure that these trim rings are indeed produced accurately and correctly. I would be in for a lot of these. What do you say Daniel, would you be up for this? Dwight

You better believe it. I already sent David two original trim rings, one polished and one brushed. He wanted to have samples in hand so he can make sure that if these things are brought back, that they are 100% correct in every way. I know that several of the responses to this post have been that guys would buy them if they are 110% correct. I think if we achieve 100% correctness it will be great!

Dan you should send Hakim a light and dark center cap so they can get the paint right on them too.

Yeah but tell him to hurry. I'd need them by spring.

What would be REALLY cool is if they made trim rings for the 8" wide Wheel Vintiques ralley's everyone is running.




That would be an excellent idea. I'd buy some even if they weren't correct looking but deep enough to fill the gap.
