but they are not "bright" like the ones you can now purchase. They have
more of a "brushed", or satin appearance. Is that the original finish,
or did a PO maybe use brillo pads to clean them?(!)?
Martin,
I believe that the original rings were a brushed aluminum. Its hard to
find any of those that are not dented up or scrapped along the side from
curbs. . IMHO they are a much nicer looking part than the "chrome" ones.
You might want to take the off and put them away for future generations;-)
