Recommend a set of beauty rings!
« on: July 28, 2019, 07:32:34 PM »
I'm tired of the mixed matched set of wheel trim rings I have and I am ready to buy a new set.

Must be for 15 inch wheels I have factory rallies. I want a 2 inch wide rings. Chrome or polished doesnt matter. I am not going to pay 30 bucks a pop for wheel vintiques. I would love to hear what you guys have bought aftermarket that fits the rallies nicely without any gaps.

That's in advance

How wide are your rallies?

The wider you have the deeper you want.

I've got 3" wide on 8" rallies.

I have found good stock B/R's at car shows, auto swap meets, easy to spot, they have a unique pattern on the back bindings points.

I have 15x7s front and 15x8s rear. Going to 15x10 rear as soon as wheel vintiques makes them available. I have had 2 inches and 3 inches and I like the 2 inch look no matter the wheel size.

I am going to keep my eyes open at fall Carlisle if I dont get a set before then.

Thanks

I have 2 styles.  First picture is the thin ones from the 88 on up rally wheel as they call it.  Second one is the larger old school.  I personally like the first style better.  It just overs the "ugliness of the wheel weights" and goes to the first bump up.  This leaves more painted rim showing.
