I would like to put beauty (trim) rings on my 15" 1958 apache wheels. I have the original rims on the truck. I have noticed the reproductions on vendors websites, but they look very "slim" possibly 1" or 1.5". Does anybody know if a 3" beauty trim will work on the 15" inch stock rim? Or am I limited to the smaller sizes?

3" will be too deep for the original wheel. I'm running 3" on Blazer Rallyes, and just test fitted one to an original wheel. The original wheel isn't seep enough on the front side to take them. the clips didn't even make contact.
