Rally Trim Ring question?

I have 15x8 Rally Wheels , I need to replace the trim rings since these are a little dull an rusty.

Do these rims take a 3" or 4" deep trim ring? And where can I get these the cheapest? doesn't matter if it's four clip or not.

Thanks
Jim

Eckler's could not confirm if it was 3" or 4" ring? E-Bay has them from $24 to $50. up to 3". I just need to make sure I am getting correct one and tyring to confirm that they didn't make a 4" ring for my rim.

Thanks

For some reason when they widened the wheels in 69, they didn't make a wider trim ring, so u can tell whether it's a 7 or 8" wheel by just glancing at it... there's a big gap between the inside edge of the trim ring and the wheel.

I just measured my original trim ring on my 15X8 wheel, and I'd say it's 3-1/8" deep... so I guess that would make it a 3" wide trim ring.
