The trim rings that Olds used on their '75 - up Super Stock III heels have the sharp corner and polished not satin finish you like. Maybe check out 'ClassicOldsmobile.com' and look. Olds sold a lot of those wheels. They do fit the way you like.
As an alternative the satin finish Pontiac trim rings can be polished to a mirror finish by a plating shop. Looks pretty good.

Thanks for the suggestion on the Oldsmobile SSIII wheel trim rings. I will do some searching...

The '73-77 Olds 15x7 trim ring is the same depth as the 2 other GM trim rings I prev mentioned, & has the same profile extending downward to the center area. For what you are trying to accomplish Robert, it will not work either (more on that later).

When one examines the "squared off" outer edge of original 15x7 Olds trim rings, the Olds version of this trim ring has a noticeable tapered outer edge & inboard step. That's the difference from the earlier two trim rings.

Typically, when Cutlass & 442 guys are trying to dress out these two versions of 15x7 Olds wheels, they buy the relatively cheap reproduction "69 Camaro" style 15x7 trim rings, a picture of which HFR posted on a '73 & up Pontiac Rally II, as perfect originals & NOS correct examples are too expensive.
