Rocky mountain wheel company has some good looking ones. 15x8 3in deep for $67.97. A few members on here have bought from them.

Re: Best Place to buy Beauty Rings

I bought from Jegs for my truck and they were ok the price was better than others but the rings were just ok.. seems like most are imported from asia no matter who you get them from anyway

Post a request on the parts forum here, or try Ebay or CL(all of craigslist) for used OEM - some are still in good shape and cheap.

Re: Best Place to buy Beauty Rings

I used the more rounded Corvette style rings and got them through Summit Racing.

They are not totally correct but fit and look good

I've never bought any, but I was going to recommend LMC as well, only because I always see them there when I'm shopping for other parts.

I haven't bought them yet. If you search for rocky mountain wheel on the forum you should see some pics.

Re: Best Place to buy Beauty Rings

I've used Astro van rings off ebay on my last two sets of rallies. They look the same but aren't as wide. They're around $44 for four and look good on the wheel.
