Default Trim rings on OEM steelies?

I picked up a set of steelies from a '91 Civic wagon. They came with trim rings on the wheels and look like so:



Did these come on the hatch or sedan (the trim rings), or just on the wagon?

it looks as if the hatchback came with the same wheels but without the rings...



has anyone ever seen them on the hatchbacks with the rings from the factory?

is it just me or is that a corvette?

you can buy trim rings just like you can buy hub caps. but trim rings can kind of slide as you drive and eventually cut into the valve stem leaving you with a flat tire. this just happened to me a couple days ago. could have just been my set though

Take a picture of the real thing so we have a ballpark idea of what it looks like...or at least find another picture of the Civic with that.

It's quite possible that you have aftermarket hubcaps as well...

basically my hatchback looks like the blue one pictured above, but the wheels i had left for it look like the one on the wagon without the rings. i have never seen a hatch with them, but maybe its just because i never noticed. the rings and in good shape, but its not the issue of whether or not i want the rings, its a matter of whether or not they came with them. this is a restoration and i want it to be correct.

just noticed if you drag the pictures to the adress bar it will show the real pictures....

but dude all of those cars have the same wheels, none of them have trim rings. if it had trim rings it would be similar to what I posted.

to my knowledge no stock civic came with trim rings, its aftermarket and fairly cheap for a set

Stop hotlinking their images...



This is what we're seeing. You're seeing the pictures because it's loaded into your browsers cache.

Try saving the image to your desktop, hosting it to www.imageshack.us and THEN posting them.

*Sigh*
