|
|
I'm looking for a set of new, or nearly-new polished stainless rings, for stock 4" wheels on my '68. I bought a set last year, listed on here as fitting 4" wheels only. They were actually for 4.5" wheels. Too bad, because I realized they would have looked great. The duller aluminum rings are everywhere, but the type I'm looking for have a mirror finish, almost like chrome. I haven't had luck in the classifieds, but then again sometimes it's hard to tell the difference in some pictures. Are they available anywhere, or are they a strictly NOS/vintage aftermarket item?
Here is a pic of what I'm looking for. (found it online). I think the ones pictured are Type 3, but it gives the idea of the finish I'm after.

Do you want to sell the 4.5's? I have a 72 so it is the 4.5's. |
