We offer aftermarket polished and brushed trim rings. While not absolutely "down-to-the-letter" factory correct, they are the best pieces we have been able to source to date.
We also offer the center caps in either light argent or dark argent. These are the metal sombrero style like the factory originals.

A few years ago Mopar started reproducing them themselves available thru dealers............ what happened to that? Discontinued already?

IIRC weren't they the 15X6.5"s and not the 15X7 that they tooled up for?

I thought the most recent MP repro's were 15x7's. The profile on the lips were just totally wrong.
The 15x6.5" offered from Mopar parts in the 90's had the right lip profile, just they were shorter for the 6.5" rims.

They were correct 15x7. Lip profile maybe not spot on but pretty close.

IMHO, the difference in the lip is very obvious. Way more obvious than the ~1/8" depth difference that leaves more of a gap at the inner corner of the rim.
IMHO, the lesser of two evils: the old 15x6.5 rings
