Default Beauty Rings & 15x8 Rally II's

I was told from Ames that the beauty rings will not fit on Rally II 15x8's that there will be a gap because of the larger wheel? Is this true, does anyone make beauty rings that will fit? TIA

I too have the same problem. I have looked high and low for a pair for my 15X8's. All I have found are not deep enough and the ID is a bit too small. I thought the 'vette rings would work but, no. Hope someone comes up with an answer.

Sure thing. I would think that with all the 15x8's sold they would make a ring that fit. Darren

I'm looking for matching rings for 15x7 and 15x8 Rally's. The measurements are as follows:
15x7= 2.5-2.75" deep with an ID of 13.25"
15x8= 3.25-3.5" deep with an ID of 13.25"
The rally's look plain with the wheel well chrome and vinyl top chrome. Thanks for any help! Darren

On page 619 of the F2008 Classic Industries catalog lists 15"x8" trim rings. Part #G8241 and a price of $152.95 each. Maybe that helps.
Or they have a kit listed as K3923626R and for some reason the price for the kit (4 rings) is $89.95. I'm guessing they are repro's.

This is correct, at this time there is no correct fitting reproduction available.
