Default Wheel trim rings for 15" wheels?

Hey all,
Anyone got any idea where I may purchase a set of stainless or chrome (or plastic?) trim rings for my 744? (these are sometimes called beauty rings or rimbellishers)

She is on 15" wheels....

I have found some (for american cars) that are 15" but I do not know if they will fit the concavity of the volvo's wheel. Are there any volvo specific ones? or does anyone know if there are any on the market that have been tried and fitted?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shane.

Triumph TR6's have something similar on them, try a Triumph specialists like Rimmers etc. They might not ft properly due to the wheel offset being the same though.

I'm not sure about 15" wheels, but my car (see my signature) had stainless steel wheel rings as a factory-fitted option. However, my car originally had 14" steel wheels. Wheel rings were also an option on a number of other models inc. 240. They looked the bee's knees when they were washed and polished but soon got dirty. The wheels also had a small metal hub-cap. Good luck finding some.
