Not familiar with AMD wheel lip molding, but the most important consideration is whether it is made of extruded or sheet aluminum.

The chemistry of extruded aluminum makes it unsuitable for bright anodizing, so it will be dull in appearance, not "bright" and shiny. In addition, extruded aluminum is much harder and stiffer than sheet.

I had bought an extruded set from Metro Parts Co. (now bankrupt) and found out the hard way that extruded ones are too stiff and not at all as shiny as originals that were made from sheet. Ended up buying correct ones made of sheet from Layson's. BUT you should know their lead time might be really long if what you want isn't available in their inventory.
