Magnum Trim Rings

[Starman417]

Anyone know of a place that makes repro 14" trim rings for the Magnum wheel for a 69?  Cant find any.

I bought two sets 4yrs ago through these guys   http://www.specialtywheelsltd.org/

Not sure they still sell them. Since the owner Tom passed away things might have changed

Dont think they do since you cant click on the trim ring link anymore.  Ill call them tomorrow tho.

Werent they still available through Mopar?  Only difference with the repros I have seen is that the original 69 versions were held onto the outer edge of the rim like a wheel weight at 4 points.  The repros and later versions held on with multiple clips around the flat inner part of the rim.  Also, for 1969 I thought the trim rings were supposed to be a brushed inner flat section with a polished outer ring.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[Starman417]

RESQ - Yes, they were a brushed inner flat section and polished outer ring.  I will check out Mopar, not having any luck anywhere else.

Worse comes to worse, I think Year One might have them also, but for around $89/ea if i remember correctly.

Checked them, they have rings for 71 and up.  Not sure of the difference.

currently avail 14" tims rings are incorrect for a 1969 , only 1970 and up.

Still avail thru any mopar dealer 2944424 is the number

I was told last year at the Mopar Atlantic Nats by Galen that the 69's had 4 clip mounting points that attached to the edge of the rim like wheel weights.  Other year trim rings mount on the inside flat part with clips.

Here is the clips on my old rings, it doesn't look like it has 4 clips unless the previous owner put on aftermarket.

Starman,

That picture is exactly what I have on my car which are correct in appearance but does not attach the same as what an original 69 trim ring does.  The reason why I got rid of mine was that the edges (polished part) were all dinged and dented up from them going on and off over the years.  It seems that was the major problem with the 69 trim rings as they really grabbed on to the rim and was a pain getting them off.  Usually, whenever I removed the original ones from my car, I ended up putting another dimple or ding from the attaching clip bending up into the alluminum trim ring.  Probably the reason for going to the current version.

[Starman417]

So the current repro's from year one that show 1971 and up would be exactly like the one's I have now?  These one's have so many dents there is no way to save em.

[Starman417]

Nevermind, all they have is 15" repro's

So I'm thinking my only option is going thru Mopar like 66RAGTOP said.
