Re: Which beauty/trim rings
The factory trim rings for both wheels are they same size. I would look for some good used original ones at a salvage yard or swap meet.

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
If you search beauty trim rings on Google you will get a lot of options. I saw a set of Impala police cruiser beauty rings on Ebay that looked nice.

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
Not trying to steal this thread, I like the way this set is tapered toward the center. Anyone recognize them?

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
Those look like a 7" Corvette rally wheel trim ring to me.
Production trim ring for an 8" wheel is shown below (left). I recall that the van wheels (7" wide) used a different ring but will defer to Katrina/10. I used the 8" Corvette rally trim on mine (from Summit). K

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
The late 80's to early 90's cargo vans (aka work vans) had a trim ring which is only about half as deep-installed on the truck rallys it makes them appear deeper which looks nice. You can also run 70-72 Monte Carlo trim rings which have the double edge BUT nice ones are NOT cheap!

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
Good info guys, thanks. I think Keith is right, I like the angle of the ones I posted, Does look like an old 7" rally from the 70's.

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
The white 84 belongs to my brother and we have the same rings on both our squares. They came from a swap meet vendor at the Texas motor speedway with many styles to choose from and had no name or info on them or the box. We just recently bought 8 rings for 90 bucks no tax. The guy said they were early Chevelle rings but who knows

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
Also I should note that our rings will work on 7s or 8s. I run both sizes on my pickup with the same ring all around whereas my brother has all 8s on his 84

Re: Which beauty/trim rings
Like my brother said, our beauty rings are supposed to be early Chevelle. There were a couple styles with the same shape. Here's another pic of mine.
