    68 Rally Wheel trim rings

    Are 68 trim rings unique or does one size fit all C3?
    My originals are scuffed up a bit. Trying to decide to find a restorer or buy repro units and put the restoration on the back burner. I know the repro units are different with respect to the number of clips I believe.

    1968 rally wheel caps are the same as 1969-82. 1967 was unique, though.

        Rich I am pretty sure 68/ are the same .The depth of the 68 rim allows for the wider 69 trim ring..Peter.

          The off set of the '68 7 inch wheel permitted the use of the 8 inch wheel trim ring. So as far as fitment goes the trim ring fits '68 thru '82. Checking the part number in a '68 parts book and an '82 parts book may bare that out.

            I was asking about the trim rings that go around the circumference of the wheel. There’s something about 68 wheels being 7” deep versus subsequent years being 8”.......I think. So I’m wondering if the rings changed too, or they are all the same.

            I don't know how I missed that it was trim rings and not caps that you were asking about. 1968 and 1969-82 trim rings were also the same----all GM #3923626.
