1969 is one year only
1970 - 1980 14" are all the same

1969s are held on with 4 steel clips

Are the 69 trim rings polished or brushed ? They sure appear to have more shine than 70 and up.

I believe these are 1969 trim rings or possibly aftermarket.

Hey Eric

Try finding a set for your 69 RR convertible.
I searched for a couple years for my car. I never could find a decent set so I put a 70 style set on my car.

I never realized 69's have the clips...always assumed that was a GM thing.
I guess I must have walked by or passed on 69's at swaps because of the clips
So 69's also have a round valve stem hole and 70 up are more common oblong or oval opening then.

Yes I'm pretty curious if these are the real deal or some aftermarket manufacture.

The pics you posted appear to be original '69 "ROAD" wheel trim rings part #2944161.

Not to confuse the issue. There is another '69 Mopar trim ring - the 14" a-body 4" bolt pattern recall wheels used a different trim ring (RARE as heck).

While we're on the topic of trim rings, does anyone have a picture of the recall 15" wheel trim rings.
I've got a couple unidentifiable NOS 15" trim rings 69/70 era.
I believe they are too wide for the recall rim...may be C-body, are not very deep.
