As far as appearance who offers a correct appearing 15" trim ring? This is supposed to be for the Rallye wheel, Click here: RALLYE TRIM RING but appears to be too rounded at the transition form outer to inner surfaces and the P/N is the same as Wheel Vintiques Here is the Wheel Vintiques: WHEEL VINTIQUES It appears the brushed ring may be the same but the dull finish reduces the reflection and appearance of a curvature? This one for a Chevy at least has a better edge in my eye? Thoughts? : CHEVY TRIM RING

I got the WV rings and rims 03/98, I think they look great...going to keep using them, don't want to take a chance on dinging or losing an original

Coker tire says all trim rings that come into the states come through them. I bought a set and have to say they are off from the originals. I have them laying here in the floor ready to go on ebay.
I think whoever was doing the correct repop of the original no longer makes them and this is all we have. Having said that I see many restored cars with this later trim ring. They look way off to me. I also noticed GYC using this trim ring. I will post some pics later today of the difference.

Be nice to see some well defined pics of original vs repro, so we can see all the "hoopla" over "hoops", and this "roundedness" spoken of?
