I have been searching for these for over a year. I've scoured the Interent for hours, searching Ebay here, Japan, Austrailia, and Europe looking for these things. I've called everywhere I could on the Net. I've E-mailed so many people that are selling parts/cars to see if they have these to no avail. And then I get the opportunity to stop at Hubcap Daddy on Moreland Avenue and guess the fuck what.....they had them. A brand new fucking set. I am very happy as this was the final piece of the puzzle for the outerior of my car. Later, QD.

Lol. I never knew people didn't know what trim bands are. I guess it is more of a old school thing though. I had a set on one of my wagons and I have some for my Cuda as well. Nice pick up!

Damn really? Lolol. These are 12" trim rings. Been out of production for over a decade. And if you'd read the rest of the post, I've been searching the Net, making calls, E-mailing people for these for over a year for these. Later, QD.

Yes, it's in the car. Not screwed in or anything, but you can't tell that. It looks like it's firmly in place. So I'll grab pics of that as well. Later, QD.

Oh I didn't know they were 12". Shit, nowadays even 12" tires are hard to find.

Actually, tires are easily available. Most tire stores don't stock them but can have them within a day. Later, QD.
