Trim rings
Purchased a set of 16 inch trim rings for my stock 1940 Ford wheels that I powder coated . After arriving discovered trim rings were made in Taiwan , guess what they were about 1/4 inch too large in diameter and no mater how I adjusted the tabs they would not fit and all I have to show for it is a scratched rim ! Where do I get good fitting trim rings ?

Re: Trim rings

I had no problem with fitting them....

Re: Trim rings
I bought a set from early Ford store and they were Vintique,look nice. I had trouble getting first one on. The tabs were digging into the rim. The rest I bent the end of the tabs in to ease the entry and they fit well. I know I will never get the first ring off in usable shape.

Re: Trim rings
The foreign made rings seem to be made of very thin material
