16" Rallye question.
Looking to poss. go to 16" rallyes but I cant seem to locate 16x3 trim rings. The only ones I can find are 16x2. This is a deal breaker for me if I cant find any. Anyone know where to find this size? Hows about pics w/16"rallyes? Thanks

Just my $0.02 worth.............
You may want to re-think the need for trim rings. They were originally intended to "dress up" the OE, painted steel wheels. The aluminum rallys that you're thinking about, are already a polished finish. All they'll need is an occasional hand polish, to make them shine. Secondly, if you were even able to find 16" trim rings, "snapping" them in place, would scuff the crap out of the wheels......

I thought they had polished lips so you only need a center cap?

Why not go to 17" ?? Much better tires selection and as the years go by 16 inch tire selection will get even worse. If you plan on having your car for a long term, you might want to think about this. Way more tire selection and Year One 17" wheels have the polished lips.

Thanks for the replys. My plan is to run 16" in the back w/ 15"up front. I'm running stock rallye wheels w/rings and caps.Need to match front.I saw this set up at a car show and liked it even though it didnt have rings. I just like to look of the slick chrome rings.About the 17" wheels, not the look I want on my C-3. Now on my C-4 ?Yes.
