I heard a rumor that they made the 6 1/2" ones. Again.
Amazing how an unchallenged lie can become the absolute truth.

Most cars from that era came with 14" tires and trim rings. They are harder to find than 15".
Are you saying the 14" rings are more difficult to find than the correct 15x7 rings? I'd rather have two sets of correct 15x7 rings over my 2 sets of 14" rings. I'm talking nice used....not NOS. 14" were more popular but so many are adding 15" wheels to their cars (myself included) over the 14's that I bet they will sell many more sets than they would 14".......if they ever make them.
Yes. That is true. The difference between 14" and 15" wheels is hardly noticible. The 15" will be out when the new retro Chrager is made.

Here's the update on the trim rings...
The supplier has the tooling along with the samples that Daniel Banker was kind enough to loan us. Right now the supplier is lookig for a good plating source as the original company is out of business.
We want these things to look and fit just like the originals.
I'm sure everyone will understand.
Thanks,
David Hakim Mopar Performance Parts
It's been 5 months since this was brought up, I wonder what's the problem.
Here is David Hakim's position on Thu Apr 14 2005 03:05 PM Quote:
The reason the 15 x 7 Trim Rings have been delayed is quite simple...the original tooling DOES NOT EXIST.
We did an exhaustive search that lasted over four months and we still could not find the tooling.
We do have the 15 X 6.5 trim ring tooling which we have gone ahead and produced products (P5153310 - Chrome, P5153311 - Brushed) since there is still a demand for this size. These are shipping to the Mopar depot in a week.
Now, here's the plan, the supplier has indicated that they they can modify the 15 X 6.5 tooling with an insert so it can produce the 15 X 7.0 trim ring.
We have an original part that OnebadSuperBird has loaned us and I'm hopeful that we may see sample parts in two weeks.
If the 15 X 7 trim ring matches the prints and the actual original part, I post the news along with an ETA on when parts will be in stock.

I talked with David yesterday and he assured me that these are going to be available soon. He said that he hopes that they will be available before Carlisle! He is working with the vendor to get the price down to a level that will be VERY affordable for everyone in the hobby. They will be available through any local dealer as well as the Performance Parts dealers such as Jegs, Mancini, Summit, etc.
Two years and still no trim rings.

P3461043 for shiny P3461222 for brushed
I believe both were the OE part numbers with a P in front, but don't hold me to it.
