No rings from the factory but they are easily added.

Ring that runs the circumference of the outer edge around the wheel.

There are two different types of rings, ribbed and smooth.

I'm thinking "beauty ring" is a misnomer in this particular example.

Even beauty rings wouldn't help a 51.

The rings, fuzzy dice and custom dash ***** were a favorite thing to order from JC Whitney.

These are really cheap made ones. They will do until I can get good ones.
