Rim and trim ring help

I have the Vintiques 37 series 15x10 with 5 inch backspace on rear of my truck. Factory rings fit perfectly! I have 15x8 with 4 inch backspace on front of my truck and CANNOT find rings that fit. Vintiques says factory rings should fit. They DON'T. All I've done is scratch one of my front wheels up, bad. I ordered some from Summit and they didn't fit either. They're on the way back to Summit.

I need rings that are wide enough to cover the shoulder of the rim as they are scratched up. I love the way the rears look......just wanting the same look on the front. I've seen some pics on here. Any advice or pics would be helpful. Vintiques has two on the way, but I'm not confident they'll fit even though the guy said they were made for the 15x8 rim.

THIS IS WHAT'S ON THE REAR, FITS PERFECTLY!



THIS IS WHAT I GET UP FRONT, THEY WOULDN'T MAKE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.



THIS IS THE RESULT OF MESSING WITH TRIM RINGS THAT JUST WON'T FIT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FIT ACCORDING TO VINTIQUES.




ANY ADVICE OR PICS OR WHAT YOU'RE RUNNING WILL BE MOST WELCOME. THANKS

Where'd my pics go? This is what I have on back, perfect fit!

This is what's going on up front.

This is how the rims are eaten up already. Sad.

Why they're upside down???????
Where the original pics went?????
Why I started a new thread? I wanted help and advice with rings. I was hoping others had had this problem and could help me.

Re: Rim and trim ring help

I don't understand why the Summit trim rings I told you about wont fit your wheels.

I have the exact wheel and they fit perfect. I am very satisfied.

Re: Rim and trim ring help

I'm almost wondering if Jegs sent me two Vintiques rims and two that were not Vintiques. The 15x10 boxes had Wheel Vintiques printed in bold black writing. The 15x8 boxes were plain white, except for the size printed on them. Vintiques is working very nicely to try to fix my problem. A sales rep there asked me for lots of pictures of the rims, factory rims, rings, etc.
