I purchased a set of aftermarket trim rings (with the grippers all the way around) off of eBay to use on road trips (lost one of the 4 gripper ones last year on the way back from the 50th so didn't want that to happen again).

I dug out the description from the eBay auction. In my mind I questioned the 68-82 claim because 68s had 15x7" wheels while the rest had 15x8" wheels.
 Trim rings, Rally wheel, 15", Chrome plated, an economical alternative to the stainless steel trim rings, 3" depth. Set of 4. NEW. Fits 68-82 Corvettes. Part# EC375S 

And here's a link to a picture of them: 68-82 Corvette Wheel Trim Rings

The first set that arrived each ring had a minor blemish. I wouldn't have even noticed it at first had it not been for the fact that the blemish had a black circle marked around it.

I contacted the seller and he sent a replacement set. I asked what I should do with the original set and he did not want me to send them back. So now I have two extra sets of trim rings.

After ordering the original set I decided to switch to ZR-1 type wheels so the rallys are going into storage. To free up some shelf space the two sets of aftermarket rings need to find a new home.

*** The first (slightly blemished) set I'll let go for $10 (to cover shipping within the US). *** Spoken for ***

*** The second set I'll let go for $35 (shipping within the US included). *** SOLD ***

I'll be honest and say that neither set is show quality or probably NCRS caliber, but they'll look very nice on a daily driver or for the purpose I originally bought them for - road trips!

Hey Jim, I may be interested with the unblemished set. Can you bring them to the C3X next week and we can discuss. If you get a solid offer before than so be it.

Hey Charlie,

If I bring them to BG I'll drop the shipping cost. I just don't want to haul them back to Minnesota again.
