ralley lll trim rings
 
I have decided to put trim rings on my after market ralley ll. The fronts are 15×7 and I believe the back space is 4.25.... And the rears are 15×8 with 4.5 back space. I bought trim rings from ames part # t113p. These are polished s.s. The issue is they look like s#!t. For reasons of not being wide enough. They are only 2.5" deep. Does anyone know where a good source could be found that would decent on these wheels? TOm

I dont think those will even work. Trim rings I have are 2 1/2 deep. And I put one on th 15×7 rim. And there is just about a inch gap. Tom

If you are wanting a flush fit against the face of the wheel you would need a 3.5" ring for the rear which I don't believe is offered. I have the rings I sent a link to on my car with a 15x7 and 15x8 and I think it looks fine.

If you look into the corvette wheels you'll find that they have trim rings that are wide & polished , these may work for you. They go on the deep ralley chevy wheel.

Hope the above link works. But this is what you need for the 15x8. I have the wheel vintiques 15x8 my bird.

The new trim rings are flimsy compared to the original but look nice and no chance at all of coming off.

My old trim rings were 2.5 deep
