This is supposedly not a hard process to do by spinning the wheel on the car using the correct device to create the brushed appearance on a polished style ring which is also a stainless steel trim ring like the #3461222 1971-73, 15x7" Brushed style. (Not like the ridiculous looking ones on the Classic Industries website). Has anyone heard of this process and might be able to point me into right direction on getting a correct looking set like the original #3461222 1971-73 15x7" Brushed 3" wide style trim rings? I'd like to find someone who is experiences at doing this process, and can produce a very nice finished product. Thank You! Chris Evans 937-270-6120. Or, respond to this ad and PM me to get my e-mail to send pictures of examples you might have. The outter lip of a #3461222 is supposed to remain polished with only the center of the trim ring having the Brushed appearance. See picture: The brushed trim rings on the Classic Industries website (which are totally incorrect) should never be put on a car trying to immitate a true #3461222 1971-73, 15x7" Brushed style 3" wide trim ring.

As for getting the brushed finish, I think it can be acheived on a balancing machine and some scotch brite or sanding paper. I did some pinstriping on a CJ Jeep wheel mounted on a balanching machine, and it was fairly easy.

Just a guess but the first step rouge may get you the finish you want, spin the ring mounted on a donor wheel while holding a long buffing wheel spinning in a drill motor against the ring. A junker ring as your test surface. I’m in the same shoes on my 71, original rings but need a little touch up. This is my plan.

See Classic Industries picture: There are no readily available true 3" trim rings (3461043 or 3461222) that I am aware of......polished or brushed. There are still some 2 3/4" rings with both part numbers around. I am pretty certain the only correct 3" rings were all made from 1969 to early 70's. After that it was the 2 3/4" ring that was available. The 3" rings are very hard to come by. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

However, if you are trying for an original look.....the Mopar crowd will spot those repop trim rings from 100 yards away. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts
