Thank you. The one's I have are 5/16'' flat around the outer edge and gentle curve in towards the center. I won't hold you to it IMO would that ring in your picture fit the rally wheels I have (see pic. below)? I'm unaware of any variances. Edit, picture was removed, I measured the wheel height incorrectly.

If that’s a date code on the ring and they match up to the wheels, then what I have are 1992.

Or you have good eyes. I can’t tell for certain, they only appear 8”. Can’t say for sure with the tires on, but I know you measure from inside the beads.

I'm thinking about buying these for 4K, full price, just so I know I have at least a nice set of matching parts for a 3" beauty ring https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1969-19...0AAOSw7VBTw2Z8
