14" brushed '70 Rallye Wheel trim rings - 09/19/08 09:52 PM
I've searched and come up w/ zero. Though the rings are listed in the Mopar Performance catalog as a member pointed out, they have been discontinued and are no where to be found. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places.
I see YO has a polished set for $159.00.
Has anyone put these on in lieu of the brushed replacements? Do they fit well?
I'd rather get the right ones but if this is all I can get, so be it.
thanks
Mike

I'm wondering if the polished area couldn't be sanded with a Scotchbrite pad (or maybe a rougher grit) to give it a brushed finish...
I remember the originals on my cars as brushed with a polished lip; although one of the big names in the hobby has said they were fully polished, I have to disagree.

You are correct Topside, brushed inside not polished.
When I bought this car in 1971 it had the brushed trim rings...we used to call them "beauty rims" in the day...with the polished chrome rim on the edge w/ the stock Rallye Wheel...
Which I quickly replaced with Gabriel air shocks pumped to the moon and and big fat G60-14's w/ Crager S/S mags and proceeded to speed shift my way to manhood packed inside two tons of buckling steel.
Those were the days. I'm just glad I held on to the car.
I guess I'm going w/ the polished units. No choice.

You'll have to look for NOS. Frank Mitchel will have some.
