Beauty rings

Post by **ndcxs16** » 27 May 2007, 09:50

Happy Raining Bank Holiday weekend

Thinking about what I want to do to my wheels. Currently I have some old tin silver beauty rings on my wheels. I want to keep the steels and replaced the old tin rings with new Chrome Beauty rings. With my chrome hubs and some white walls should look old skool!!!

Questions is, does any one now where I can get said beauty rings ( trims ) from.?I have seen some but the holes are oblong ( beetle) but I would like the ones with loads of round holes that match my steel wheels. I hope this has made sense.
Cheers

god only knows why theyre called "beauty rings"???
i would have thought "naff looking cheap tin rings" is more like it

i think you can get them off ebay for 4p, you could make some out of an old mr kipling wrapper "theyre great". i had some in my shed, i fitted them on my old beetle(70s style) but then after about 12 hrs i took em off and got some proper wheels when i noticed people being sick when i drove past

Weazlechin, if your giving away your ''beauty rings'' I wouldn't mind having them to beautify my van.

Please let me know & advise on p&p
charges or 80-90 express etc. Thanks.
