Question ISO; BRUSHED RALLY 1 TRIM RINGS

My shiny aftermarket trim rings are showing some mileage and I've been trying to locate a set of Brushed Stainless with no luck.
Most of the offerings list a 2.25" depth which is a bit shy compared to mine.
Anyone know of any offerings in the size shown below.
Thanks.

I have been restoring 8 Lug center caps and converting 2nd design Rally trim rings to 1st design since the late 80's. Put them on a standard wheel, spin them and hold 3M 220 Wet or Dry on them dry while spinning. Hold the paper straight while putting moderate pressure on it. Do not move in & out or you will be doing it again. You will have the correct finish. I actually use the rear axle and run it in gear at idle with a slight drag on the emergency brake to control speed.

Whenever I want to give a brushed look to aluminum I take the piece to napa and ask for a light dusting of bead blasting with their finest abrasive . Works perfectly
