Got an Mancini email today advertising they have back in stock Mopar rally wheel and road wheel trim rings.  I just wondered if anyone has seen them and can opine on how close to OE they look? The clips on the 14s sure aren't like OE, though that isn't all that apparent when installed.

The 14" in particular are interesting. I don't recall a (correct) brushed finish previously offered on a repop 14 and they advertise correct contours as well. Nice.

I think @MoparDave formerly at Roseville works at Mancini's now. I would trust his opinion of their quality if in fact he works there. I heard he does... somewhere..maybe here?

I called Mancini yesterday to get more details.  Guy said to call back Monday and they can perhaps pull out the trim rings and take a closer look.

Doing an image search they look like they could be a Vision Wheel 2533V.

I'm looking at the 14" brushed rings

@MoparDave does work there. I just spoke with him at the MCACN show a while back. I'd vouch for him any day. If he says something is good, it's good. I'd call and ask for him.

Spoke to Ryan and he vouches for them.  Said they're the closest to original; the backside is different.  He described the contour as having 3 rings: the middle ring is raised and the inner & outer rings from that middle ring are flat and on the same plane.  Don't remember the original contour myself -- I'll need to pull out my original 14" rings and take a closer look.

Does anyone make/carry the brushed 15" rings?
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

Mancini doesn't carry the 15" brushed rings.  Ryan said you'd have to spray the 15" chrome ones :-(
