Sorry Nick, I haven't sold a set in over a year - and MP prices vary/change with demand . So I can't answer that one with confidence.

Just curious, I knew at one time they were not close to the originals but never had the need to purchase a set or ever had the need to see a set..... Nick

92 a piece sounds a little pricey.

There should be no debate regarding polished or brushed for 70, it's only polished. As for a debate for early 71 models... I have a perfect set of polished for my 15x7's on my 71 charger se, build date of 1/13/71(built exactly 3 1/2 years after I was born) I know the brushed is correct, but i scored a helluva deal on the polished set of 4, still in plastic bags. Yes, i'd consider an even trade for a nice correct set of brushed ones (hint hint)

Bruce, if you have a set of Trim Rings already with the dings and other various marks you can always rebuild them. Take them apart and tap the dents out and file the scuffs and then polish the rings. Ya it actually takes some work to make them nice. Most people just want to reaching into ones wallet for their credit card and have the parts show up via UPS at their door.

Hi,
This a long shot. I happened on this thread from 2009! You hinted that you may like to trade brushed 15 X 7, 3" deep trim rings for your polished ones. Did that ever happen? My car needs the polished ones.
Let me know.

And if you can find a set of originals they can be restored. BTW, I've had these cars since the 70s and my later 70s always had brushed trim rings. below is a picture of my A66 Convertible on the day the owner picked it up. Notice the brushed rings. Mopar parts book shows brushed rings as well.
