Leaving it chrome but im gonna get a new 103 trim ring and paint it black for contrast. Theres not really any good rings for sale. They either say 96 or 103" and theres no 88 ones in this cover style haha. Id do the screaming eagle one but its black and orange. Im being very **** with my black and chrome combo, I want no other colors. Btw the 103 ring has no texture or raised letters if you are wondering my motive haha.

Same as the stock factory. The size has slipped my mind. The rim is 18 x 3.5 I believe
