Need help w/wheel trim ID
Looking for a set of these for 15" wheels. I know that the deeper ones are for the Corvette Ralley wheel (left pic). I know that some of the Corvairs also ran these trim or beauty rings but most of those were 13" or 14". Does anybody know of a manufacturer for 15" factory non ralley rims? Im running the standard shallow trim rings now, but would like the bowtie embossed rings.

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
Or if anybody can tell me what other cars came from the factory with these style trim rings. Thanks.

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
I've never seen trim rings with the embossed bowtie before. Are you sure they are OEM?

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
CaptainFab...the corvairs had them. Not sure which years or apllications, but I have seen these in OEM GM parts boxes before. The Corvair is the only car that I can verify that had them, but they were 13-14" rims. Also...most of the repos that I have seen are official GM licensed products ( dont know if that helps any).

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
Heres pics of a heavily optioned Corvair with the trim rings. Also note the custom trim steering wheel, dash clock, gas heater & factory bench seat. Most had buckets

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
Hmmmm interesting.....learned something new today. I've been around a few Corvairs, but I guess I've never looked closely at the trim rings. Thanks for the education.

Re: Need help w/wheel trim ID
No problem....learn new stuff everyday. I like the small details like these. The trim rings are really sharp, have considered seeing if I could make a die...my father has an industrial press that weighs around 6000lbs. The die would be easy to make, its the jig to hold the shape that would be hard.
