Got it.  You make it so easy!

750: Those are the repro rings that Classic and Wheel Vintiques sells. Totally wrong everywhere, the face is wrong, the colour of the metal is wrong and they are too flat on the inner curve going into the wheel. Here is a photo of true, Mopar rings.

Runcharger, thanks for the info and pic.. Is there any better repro trim rings available?


RUNCHARGER

Not that I've seen. Some of the rings are relatively ok for GM's but nothing for Mopars. Mopar remade them about 20 years ago but I guess they didn't sell enough of them.

The fact the repo rings didn't fit the diameter of the wheel didn't help sales much.... Typical Mopar repo parts....

What is the correct finish ? I have seem some that are shiny and some that looked brushed.

Do you get any good repo ones these days? I have three originals and one repo and would to get a better replacement for the repo.
