Default trim/beauty rings for steelies

i have been looking around the internet for a while now for trim rings that have a 'stepped' look to them, all i can find so far are the smooth, rounded off ones. im goin for the oldschool whitewall and trim ring look on my 09 jetta and simply cant find these things.

picture of what i want, and then a picture of the only ones i can find.


only ones i can find...

I havent been to a one in years, but Pepboys used to have them, not sure if it was the style you are looking for. Also try jcwhitney.com.

Good luck with it, car in the pic looks nice...well lose the surf rack.

I have never seen a stepped lip trim ring....it kind of defeats the point of having steelies....

Go make some wide steelies..they look better than a little metal ring..But obviously more expensive

that car looks horrible... im not going for a tuner look or some sort of race car super wide wheel look. i just want simple, oldschool style.

i might just end up buying the ribbed ones. not what i want, but i cant find anything else.
