the reason I never put these on my car was as soon as you put them you scratch the rims up
didn't want 1200 worth rims, even thou they were power coated to have rusty rims

I love 'em Nacho!
I always preferred the polished version. I love the way the 1/2 circle arch in the wheel is reflected in the ring, making them look like a full circle when you look at the wheel straight on.

yeap... you can note that on the brushed finish too, but not like on polished of course. Wondering why just offered in 70.
Note, the pic I posted is how my rims actually are with the trim one seller sent me ( I bought maybe 5 or 6 years ago simply trusting him never saw what actually he was sending, because he was supposelly a RALLYE WHEEL GUY... will grabb the link where I found him ), but never got convinced about the trims seller sent me ( with the incorrect curved/flattered edge ), so I was allways looking forward to change those.
I got from him also a nice PITTED set of center caps "refinished" ( yeah right, any argent can over the same pits sure will do (Laughing Out Loud) ). But after couple of years and with Tom's help, got another set and picked up the best 4 of the 8, and sold the other 4 locally.
90 bucks ( S&H included ) for the set sold on ebay with the correct edge seems to be a REALLY NICE PRICE. And seems to be the correct edge look. reflection makes it hard to see how correct or incorrect is

now that I got the set on ebay, just made a "deeper" search about the diff trims PNs available and their details, mostly because I'm helping a friend of mine on get the best and cheaper trim as posible to his 14x5.5" Rallye wheel set on his Dart, ( no matter correctness, just right fit and cheap ) and found this about the ones to my car.
the ones I got from ebay ( not the ones on the pic I posted ) are PN 3002-AMT... AMT ? maybe aftermarket? the ones being sold on specialty wheels for Mopar rallyes are 3003-P ( if polished... brushed are B ) and the closer PN match I have found about the ones on ebay is 3002-1... on Summit, being sold for 'vettes Summit sells the "correct" Mopar one with same PN than specialty wheels 3003-P and B Actually I can't find any spec on any seller website about how deep these are, but just the ones I got.
so now I don't know which ones I got... sure better than the ones I actually have due the closer to correct edge, but... (Laughing Out Loud)
now... ebay seller states they are 2.75"... which I hope and I guess they are really the correct deep for the Mopar rallye 5x7
but I have found around being sold to BOTH wheel width, 7 and 8, BOTH deepness trim, 2.75" and 3"... depending on seller
So now what I trust? (Laughing Out Loud)
My car is thousand miles from home to check it...
Does somebody have 15x7" wheels on his car to check its trim deep ?

Nice score. I've seen chrome trim before but always thought it was incorrect for our cars. What years did they use it on? And while the data books list "chrome" as the rings I assumed they meant not painted. Were they ever on the Mag5 Road Wheels?

Mag5 ( road ) wheel as far I read recently on Moparts could came in full Chromed finish ( not trim, the rim itself ) or painted with brushed trim on them
Rallye wheel with polished trim, SAS FAR I KNOW just 70.

The picture certainly is of a chrome one.
