There may be better places that someone can post, but have you tried LMC Truck or Chevy Duty?

I bought a Set of 3" and a Set of 2.5" on Ebay for $50 a Set. How many do you need I have 3 of the 3" just sitting in my Garage.

well i had bought a set of 3 in trim rings off of ebay. they were for corvette rallys but it said that they coiulg fit on truck rallys as well. the do fit on and look nice, but i notice that they arent perfectly flush on the wheel and it has a slight wobble when in motion (which drives me nuts.) im trying to find 3 in rings that are specifically for a truck rally.

If that is the ring used by the standard 8 inch rally wheels, they are easily found in local junkyards here in San Antonio. I have bought a couple as "spares," and paid $6 or $7 apiece for them. Surely they are available in CS as well.

and most importantly, do they fit perfectly flush with the wheel?

Flush with what part? They cover up the wheelweights on the outside of the rime. They are about 1/4 inch off the wheel on the inside edge, and they do not reach all the way to the center of the wheel.

The nices ones you usually see in the junkyards are on Suburbans. More of them seem to have the stock wheels, and they generally are not as beat up as the pickups.

I just measured one of them. They are 2.5 inches deep. They are stock rings, like the ones that came on every 8 inch rally wheel.

Well, not that this helps you really, but I picked up a set of 4 for a GMC on ebay, still in the GM wrappers for $5.00 shipped. It's been a while back, but you might at least check there. I know they're anywhere from 15-20 bucks a piece from places like LMC Truck or Chevy Duty.
