Trim rings, how deep? Any pics? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a set of Rally wheels from a 1984 Silverado that I'm cleaning up. I have the 4 trim rings but they're 3 different styles...replaced as lost/damaged over the years for sure. Does anyone have close up pictures of what style would have been original? How deep did were they from the factory?

no factory ralley wheels were available till well after 72 so there arent any factory correct trim rings for these trucks

Depends on the size of the wheel. The 6.5(or 7) inch wheel (first pic) used one style (thickness), while the 8 inch wheel used one with a deeper or thicker design (middle pic). The rings should go down to about where the rims kicks in to meet the center part of the wheel.

Also, as in the last shot, I had F150 rings on my ralleys(8 inch) on the 96. They do not have the sharper bends of the GM model rings, but work, and some thing looks better. Not the best photos, but all I had quick at hand.
