View Full Version : Chrome trim rings
TOAST3R 10-11-2004, 11:46 PM I took my 18s off today and put the stock rims on. but hubcaps are fugly. i found some chrome trim rings at a local parts store for 49$ and put those on.
i mightve paid a little more than ebay or so. but its a local store ran by a guy not soem big chain, and i didnt want to wait. heres the before and after.

they are sitting in my living room. im selling the tires probably. and winter is coming soon.
TheScionicMan 10-11-2004, 11:58 PM Not a big fan of steelies but doesn't look too bad. I'd suggest some chrome lugnuts to seal the deal...

hahajoey 10-12-2004, 06:11 AM do u mind posting up a picture or the name of the brand?
i think it'll be extremely helpful!
i think imma get a set of rings. i can't stand the wheelcovers and that looks so much better!
TOAST3R 10-12-2004, 06:15 AM i dont know the brand, it came in one those cardboard shippin boxes like it was from china. but im going back there tomorow to check on getting a set for someone else here, i can check for you too. maybe if i order a few i can get a discount for us.
superjeer 10-12-2004, 06:03 PM I'll prolly do this for winter too, except paint the wheels crome, clear them and find a hub cap. Just like my 87 nova. :)
big_c 10-12-2004, 06:09 PM ive been wanting to do the same exact thing for my camo box but people told me you cant get trim rings made for japanses cars...that they will fall off when you hit the first bump. If anyone else has gotten trim rings from eomewhee where I can order online please post or PM. I think they look great if you donthave $800 for nice wheels.
TOAST3R 10-13-2004, 04:16 AM i dont think these will fall off, they seem pretty secure on their compared to some cheap hubcaps i had from walmart once. i guess only time will tell. i had to push super hard to get them on also. they didnt just push on easy
i called the place i got mine from today and asked about getting more, he said they are 69$ now. i guess mine were cheaper because thye had been sittin in his store for a while and he wanted to get rid of them.

That's silly. Think of all the older hondas and toyotas around with these things on them from the factory. I replaced mine several times on the nova. I don't think I ever had one fall off.

ya! its the calm logo. i had it made up for me at a vinyl graphics place. we did silver for the background and orange for front. it came out pretty nice. would be neat to do one on the front like the scion fender decal
Back_In_Black_xA 10-13-2004, 05:33 PM That looks pretty good. I like how Cop cars have the chrome rings and chrome center caps on steelies, looks bad ___. You need the right color to pull it off. White or black would be good.
