    Paint the black on first...then mask that off and paint the silver.

    I can't wait to see those on your car. Those are my favorite factory wheel.

    So...are those the ebay beauty rings? Whatcha think?

    Yup ... the rings fit perfect although not identical to Ford Rings. They have a rounded lip where the Ford rings are flat and have an edge before dropping down into the rim. Also they are polished stainless steel instead of brushed stainless. Unless you knew what the originals looked like you wouldn't know ... I think the look awesome and only $50 ....

    I also have a set of centers on the way .... was hoping they would have been here today .... Also bought a new set of chrome acorn lugnuts as well ...

    The entire deal with rims, rings, paint, centers and lug nuts set me back $250 ....

    I just completed my set of 500's, now I have 5 with trim rings, only one trim ring isn't stock, all for $60, think that was a good deal, now to get some sand blast sand

    Magnum 500`s were all chrome and did not use a trim ring.

    That is true, but if you say painted magnum 500, people are more likely to know what you're talking about, than if you say 'styled steel wheels', which could be anything depending on what car it came off off. Plus styled steel wheel just sounds cheezy. :D
