Smile I may have found the Holy Grail... Headlight trim rings/ headlamp rims!

UPDATE- THEY DO NOT FIT - Turns out their manufacturer changed the size this year and they are no longer 8.5”. They are 8.25” and are too small ��





I feel like Indiana Jones!
After scouring the internet off and on for months, I came across these...

https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/chrome-headlamp-rim-85

It’s a wider version of the 8inch rims(8.5”)

The dimensions all seem correct(maybe a wee bit tighter around the headlight itself-but that’ll just take up the small gap we currently have). And no silly notches that we don’t need. Angle and curve look the same, and mount screw is in the right spot. I don’t know if it has the small locating tab at the top, but that is an easy fix.(EDIT), and by easy fix I mean they are separate pieces- you swap them over if you have rims already, or order them separate, or build something.

I just ordered a set, so I’ll let you guys know the minute they arrive if they fit. Probably take a few weeks to get here. With shipping, about $60.

Hope they fit, and hope this helps all the other people looking for these

Will update ASAP
