Any recommendations on reproduction trim rings for Mopar rallye wheels - specifically for 1970 A-Body (14" wheels)?

From what I recall, some/all of the reproduction trim rings are bright chrome on the outer ring, but for a 1970 Mopar is should be brushed (dull)? I know Wheel Vintiques reproduces wheels/trim rings, but appear bright chrome. Any other reproduction options out there or a technique to dull the bright chrome trim ring to look more correct on a 1970 Mopar?

You can mount a polished trim ring to an old wheel and spin it on a tire balancer. Then use a scotchbrite pad to "brush" the ring. This was done on my Challenger. Another member recommended these rings and this process to "brush" them. Truth be told...they could have been brushed a little more then they were. You can vary the look by using a more aggressive scotchbrite pad or using more or less pressure during the brushing process.

14" trim rings were brushed with a polished lip.
