Default Model A Ford Wheel Trim Ring Set

I am looking for a 21" trim ring set for our 1929 Model A. These appear to be discontinued from the vendors. Does anyone know of a set anywhere that might be available? Thanks!

I got a set At Christmas from A&L along with a pair of stainless side mount spare tire covers. It's worth a call. The purists mat not like them but they sure draw a lot of attention. I have them on one of my 28 cars and two of my 29 cars. Wayne.

Be sure you really like them. I went to the trouble of finding a set for my 16 inch Kelsey
wheels but when I got them on I didn't like them.

The 'Trim Rings' for 19" of the 1930 & '31 Model A are quite common and have been reproduced and sold for the last 30 years. However, in all that time, I have never seen a 'Trim Ring' for the 21" wheel of the '28-'29 Ford Model A.
