If you are talking about 14 inch brushed, I agree. Mine would not fit in thw wheel at one spot on the rim because of the inner spot weld.
Made the rim look like it was bent! 65 dollars wasted

It's a good thing in a way the Brushed trim rings don't fit,.....you want POLISHED trim rings for your "70" RR,....unless you desire the BRUSHED 71 style trim rings





PS the new MP POLISHED trim rings fit both my stock and repro Rallyes just fine

Aren't some of the 14" rallye wheels 5.5 and some 6 inches wide.

Ok, forgive me because it's been a long time since I have really dealt with rallye wheels. I grew tired of ALL stock wheels years ago and now all of my cars except one, have aftermarket wheels.

This ad confirms that Mopar had two different size 14 inch wheels.

trim ring ad

I took the 14 inch rallye wheels off my Dart Sport in favor of Weld Drag Lites about ten years ago. I still have the rallyes and tires stacked in the basement. I bought NOS brushed trim rings for it in the early 90s. The front wheels are 5.5 and the trim rings fit snug up against the rim. The rear wheels are 6 and there is a GAP at the edge of the trim ring. I don't know when they went from 5.5 to 6, but they did. Why? I don't know. Perhaps someone else on this site will know. I used to have TONS of these rims back in the day. I used to get them at local junkyards for $5 each. Then I'd make sets and flip 'em for extra cash. Back then, we never cared about date codes or anything like that. I just remember that some were a little wider. I think the same thing is true for the Magnum type wheels too. Somebody... Back me up on this so I don't have to unstack my wheels/tires and take pictures.

I'll save you the time. I took pics of the original and repo. I also measured the inside diameter,outside diameter and depth of both. The reason they don't fit is because they were machined improperly. See pics. Orig on top. Repo on bottom. The orig has the seam straight across and the repo Mopar has the seam that does not line up even. It's crooked. You can easily see this at the weld point. The repo rims seat correctly around the rim but will bind at the seam point where they overlap. This is why they don't fit. I understand what you are saying about the 5.5" and 6" rims. I tried to do a search with the Mopar part # 1-02944424 but does not come up. Also another poster on the thread said he had the same problem that they would not fit the rim.
