This thread has been very, very informative.

I have a question, though. I believe my rim blow is original from a low miles 1970 Challenger. What appears to be the original chrome tape stripe around the outside was half on and half off. However, what was there seemed to be encapsulated in thick clear plastic that created a bit of a convex surface above the wheel edge.

Have others seen this as well as it seems to conflict with other info on this thread? Or perhaps it is different by model?

I've been experimenting and had some success with an inexpensive DIY approach to recreate the look of the clear plastic on top of the chrome tape stripe. But now I am wondering what is original and what is not.
