      There's a set of "OEM Factory" rings on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-FACTORY-...2c350c&vxp=mtr

      They have no visible spot welds next to the clips, an "L" shaped band, and a wavy crimp along the circumference of the band.

      Does this mean they are not OEM? Maybe manufactured more recently by GM as a service replacement?

      Or not?
      The seller of the rings in the above ad appears to be the author of the Restorer article referenced below by Alan (?)

      Hi,
      The trim ring article was titled "Inside Rally Wheel Trim Rings", it was submitted by Rick Miller.
      It appeared in THE CORVETTE RESTORER Vol.34, Number 1, Summer 2007.

        The rings with no spot welds and L-shaped bands are NOT correct for cars until approx. 1975 or so. Flat band style rings were used from 1967 through at least 1974.

          I now understand the distinction between pre- and post 1975 trim rings!

          Thanks Sal.
