Hub caps and beuaty rings, are the rings OEM

[cjgoode]

Did old 25's or fj40's come with beauty rings, my 62 came with these and I like them. My problem is I have 3 different ones. I like the ones in the picture with the front hub caps, they have the ridges that match the hub caps. The other two do not match, but still look good. Are they OEM, the front ones look to match, but I cannot find any pictures with them other then mine.

I blasted them, I plan on painting the rims green and painting these aluminum color not chrome. My budget does not allow sending them out to be refinished at this time.

The hub caps are OEM.... technically I believe all early 40's were shipped with drive plates instead of locking hubs and then most dealer ships added the locking hubs and thus cutting out the center of the hub cap. Regardless as I said the hub caps are original and worth a pretty penny of ebay or here for that matter

the beauty rings are new to me and I don't believe they are OEM

Thats interesting, the two with a hole in them seemed to be a hack, but the dealer doing it make sense. I guess dealer could have also added the rings, especially since the two look like a match to the hub caps. I just need to see if I can find more of the rings.

x2 on the caps, never seen the rigs.

FYI...old 40's had black rims...just thought I'd pass that along

I like the beauty rings too, used to run them on my 40 ages ago, doiubt I have pics. Not original though. You should be able to pick up a matching set at a swap meet or junkyard.

OK Rims should be black, Gloss or Satin or ? While I cannot go back to original on my vehicle I do want to go original where it will not cost me any more money. So black it is, and Thanks for pointing that out.

I am not exactly sure myself, but I was going with semi-gloss on the ones I have now

The trim rings you have with the two front caps look to be possibly prior to WWII GM.
Maybe Buick or Olds
