View Full Version : Trim Rings on your box?
big_c 02-23-2005, 04:05 PM I remember 6 months or so ago someone posted some pics with chrome trim rings on their steelies and it looked good. Im looking for some and having a hard time. Will and 15" trim rings fit? and what about center caps?
Also cant find the thread cause the search feature is useless.

Fujiz_xb 02-23-2005, 04:17 PM trims look good.
big_c 02-23-2005, 04:18 PM thank you. why when I did it I got no response I have no idea.
what depth? 2" or less?
squirrel 02-23-2005, 04:40 PM Yeah, Brian put trim rings on his camo xB and it looked good. I would also change out the stock lug nuts. That's just my preference. I think Brian said he got them at Kragen or Autozone.
TOAST3R 02-23-2005, 04:49 PM i have a set of them sittin in my garage, i dont have my box anymore so i dont need em
RageStevens 02-24-2005, 04:30 AM It wasnt me with the pics ....and I still doint know how to post pics yet but I do have the trim rings. Kragen has them I think for fifteen or less. I think its the cheepest most instantly gratifying mod esp if your not going to be getting rims soon. Just wax the steelies and get some lug nuts and your set. I was even thinking about a small moon cap for the center but.... I got my rims coming on sat..he he.
Brian :D

Trim?
Box?
Muhahahahah....
buddhafrogsaypeace 02-25-2005, 01:45 PM I like it. I've been considering the same myself. I'm a complete novice -- I've read conflicting posts on whether this will actually fit the stock 15's. How did they work for you? And yes, if I do this, I'll change the lugs.
EAN10775 02-25-2005, 01:54 PM That's a great idea for those of us in the Midwest or anywhere that we have to run stock wheels in the winter ro keep from destroying our rims - can anyone tell me exactly what size (depth) to get? 1.5"? 2"?
SUPASCIONXB 02-25-2005, 05:42 PM I had trim rings before I changed to my other winter wheels,

typhoonorchid 02-25-2005, 11:52 PM I just measured mine. The lip is 1.75" deep, and that fits about perfect.
I like the look because it almost looks like it could be stock & it gives it a slightly more truck-like look
Futureicon 02-26-2005, 12:05 AM I ended up buying mine from here:
http://www.hubcapkingdom.com/pages/trim.htm
They were extremely helpful, even paid for the shipping after I accidentally purchased the cheap chrome plastic rings instead of the stainless steel ones. As for fitment, just tell them you need the standard 15 inch stainless steel rings. They fit perfectly!
StackTrayce 02-28-2005, 03:18 AM What size lips do you suggest to fit well? The ones from hupcapkingdom come in 2", 2.5" and 3". Is the extra lip above 2" worth the $30?
EAN10775 02-28-2005, 06:19 PM Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too - if typhoonorchid's are 1.75" and fit perfectly are the 2" trim rings from hubcap kingdom going to be too deep to fit the stock wheels?
SUPASCIONXB 02-28-2005, 06:34 PM mine are 2 inch and fit perfect
EAN10775 02-28-2005, 07:11 PM mine are 2 inch and fit perfect
great. thanks!

BigBaby 02-28-2005, 08:00 PM put the rings on yesterday, they look good (especially when the box is moving), gonna put some chrome lugs on this weekend
