Hi. I am looking to add beauty rings to my rather dull looking all black 4 lug standard wheels. I have noticed that at least two profiles exist. Anyone has fitted the first one (stepped)? Seen a lot of photos from the smooth one but none from the first.

Smooth correct for early Ghias up to '65 but will fit all years. Wolfsburg West usually carry the 15" smooth repro but are out of stock at the moment.

This is a more affordable stainless repro that a lot of Ghia owners use (me included) : https://www.bobdrake.com/FordItem.aspx?Item=8A-183...da852b68ed or the same ring on Ebay https://ebay.us/bKjbp8
