Beauty Rings

So i can't seem to find the ones im looking but i'm wondering maybe which ones would be best. I want the rounded lip not "angled" and i want them to be deep. I run 15x10 out back and i've seen the deep ones i just dont know where to get them? along with ones that would fit a 15x7 as well. They're obivously rally wheels so any input on where to get them would be great. also im told they're the ones off of GM cars? So any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Cole.

Re: Beauty Rings

There are 1", 2" and 3" widths, Most of the AM wheel companies have them, also LMC has them too. I thought the corvette ring had ribs in them, am I wrong?

Re: Beauty Rings

These were on the wheels I used on my 96. I am told the rounded edges are used on F-rd truck trim rings.

Re: Beauty Rings

I run the stock rally's with the rings that came with the 10" deep rally's the truck had when I got it. They're 3" rings.. I think. I think they look good with the stock chevy rally's

I know for a fact that my dad had those rims specialty made, and ordered them through America'sTire Company in Gilroy, Ca. He bought the rings and caps too, through them.

I have also seen something similar in my LMC catalog. I'll post the link for you. I measured the ones on my pickup, and they're the 3" with the lip.

But, I'm sure you can find them through any tire shop, or rim specialty store.
