Want to see trim ring options for 15" Road Wheels.  Thanks.

I thought only the 14 inchers came with trim rings and the 15s were chrome  :shruggy:

Yes, originally.  But are there any options for 15s?

375instroke

Chrysler only offered 14".  Rallyes had trim rings, and I don't see why one couldn't use them on a 15" Magnum 500.  Wish I took pictures, but there were 15" Rallyes at the last car show that were flat, not convex like most Rallye rings, and they were brushed.  They had ridges on the outer edge, though.

meaning a 5 spoke road wheel ? ----------  no such thing from Mopar / factory / any year

15" rallyes were an option beginning in 1970

I did say Chrysler didn't offer 15" Road Wheels, but they are made.  Call them Magnum 500s or whatever.  Lots of people are putting them on their cars.  For instance:

A 15X8


A 15X10

Im partial to the brushed rings as well.  The repro 15x7 Road Wheels I got from Specialty Wheels have chrome spokes though....I believe for an extra $100 they can "brush" the spokes for you.

Looking at the pics, the chrome spokes sort of "reflect" the brushed rings giving them a brushed look to the casual observer

So they are just like Road Wheels?  No chrome under the trime ring?

Correct....but they come with the chrome trim ring.....I think the brushed matched the stock 14" original design better...

rallyes looks way better on polished due the half circle reflection makes a complete circle optical ilusion, but Is true that maybe roads looks better on brushed. Hard to make the choice anyway though

When the trim ring is brushed you can actually see the tim ring,when they are non-brushed all you see is a reflectin of the wheel. Brushed are way better IMHO.

On Ralleyes I am with you Natcho! Magnums=Brushed  Ralleyes=polished.
