Wheel trim rings ???
Hello , i am looking for four trim rings to my Repu...
As i live in sweden and don´t have any other way to find some i will call out here to see if someone can help me locate some...
There are some other parts i need too so if you have lots of extras in your garage that don´t have anywhere to be put give me a hint... And i tell what i need...
My Repu is the only one here in North Europe , so parts too it have to be search and found in the US...

Well, I haven't got any, but...
...I'm pretty sure there are some 'generic', aftermarket trim rings available *somewhere* for 14" steel wheels.
What are those 'other' parts you still need, Lars?

Other parts is !!!
Well i look after some interior parts as the vinyl fabric to the bench , and also looking after a good looking carpet...
I bought a battery box for my repu , but it was missing the locking mechanism , so that is a part i will find too...
The steering wheel has little to much play in with , so may be i need some attention and parts to that too... Klaus you might know what usally will be worn out there on a old used Repu ??? I have seen some new steeringboxes for sale and also some repair kits...
Thats not all , but i will list more later...
As i need to go now !!!
I´ll be back !!!

Trim Rings
The last trim ring I got from a Mazda dealer (a long time ago) came in a box marked "NAMSCO, Compton CA. P/N 1QT TM 14". You can find these people under Wheel Masters now, don't know if they still make that P/N or not

Trim rings
Take a look at my truck, it has the original beauty rings on it. I bought a set of Nissan rings that fit better and were brand new. I found them on Ebay. Mine only had 2 of the original ones in the photo. I believe to the best of my knowledge the rears were the original and the fronts were some sort of aftermarket, that didn't stay on very well.

Looks good !!!
Yes , that´s looks great...
I would like to find some Nissan beauty rings...
Do you know what year they were fitted to the nissan or do you have a parts number that would be the best way to hunt some of them down... Then i might can get some of them from a Nissan dealer...
I also would like to see some close up pics , if any one have any...
Thanks...

Updating the Update
Ok, those were a bit too shallow. I am re-ordering 2 inch deep ones, instead of 1 3/4.

I'm having to get the 2 inchers from another seller, the original seeler didn't have those. Here's the link for the 2 inchers, he's apparently got more.

If you want to wait until I have mine installed, I'll post on how it goes.
