Default Trim ring opinions

I am putting a set of 15x7 rally wheels on my Grand Prix. I have the wheels, original centers and need trim rings. Reproduction parts are out there. Any opinions on what are good or ones to stay away from
Thanks in advance

I do not see an attachment to the trim rings, just a picture of a Judge? What am I missing?

They're yanking your chain. Judge didn't come with trim rings ...

With Rally II's on a '69-70 GP, personally like to see the original style squared off outer edge trim rings, not the brushed curved '73-81 style Rally II trim rings.

When you compare original '69-72 14x7 trim rings to what's available new, affordably, in something close to the same profile, in a 15" trim ring, you will be looking at reproduction trim rings for 15x7 & 15x8 Chevrolet Rally wheels. That's what's out there. The most common reproduction trim ring will have the profile of an original trim ring for a '69 Z-28, yet it will not have the same type of attachment on the back. The style I continually run across, often on small center 15x7's on "restored" '70-72 T/A's, the valve stem hole is not the same shape as original early Pontiac 15" Rally II's, but for many owners, & def the flip crowd, they do not care.
