Thanks.

Were they optional originally? My car came with them but they are pretty beat up. Someday we'll get 'em fixed up!
| I drove a '50 from the day I got my license thru college! Sadly, we sold it when I got married. I recently got the chance to buy the same car back from the man I sold it to; but the deal fell through and now I own a nicer one: 4 Dr Styleline Deluxe! |

I think I read where the trim rings for the original rims (I have a 1952) are different than for later years or for just a standard 15in rim. Is this correct and if so who has the correct ones?
Thanks

Agreed- great question..I see a set on Ebay for $50 and they look like 70's chrome style.
Would those suffice?
Thanks,

I bought a repo set from NCA about 5 years ago, they are still in the box. Has anyone else bought these? Are your tires from Diamond Back. The whole wheel looks good.

Thanks!

I love it!
but - I wound up scratching the hell out of my painted wheels with the trim rings. Is there any way around this?

Anyone? Granted, the ones I had were crap from JCWhitney. Do better ones not scratch the paint?
