Looking for Opinions -- Beauty Rings or No Beauty Rings
I recently refurbished a set of rally wheels and caps for my 72 longbed. I picked up a set of beauty rings at a swap meet but now can't make up my mind whether to put them on or go without. I haven't put the rings on as yet as it would mess up the freshly-painted wheels.
What do y'all think?

Re: Looking for Opinions -- Beauty Rings or No Beauty Rings
Hey Bill!
Great job on those wheels! In my opinion, you can't have the bling with out the rings. BTW - Wyatt joined up - he's RAT96 Take care!

Re: Looking for Opinions -- Beauty Rings or No Beauty Rings
normally - i prefer with rings. If a custom truck, then without is sometimes ok. But can't go wrong WITH them on any truck. I know what you mean though, once you put em on, you always have to kep/put them back on because they destroyh the paint. At least it's only under the ring!

Re: Looking for Opinions -- Beauty Rings or No Beauty Rings
I like them with and without. It depends on the trucks and what look you go for.

Hey Bill, it's Wyatt. I think you should go with the beauty rings. It looks really good on those type of wheels.
