I have one original and one aftermarket ring that I picked up at a swap. They 
are the wide style.  At first glance they look alike, but after mounting 
several differences were apparent.

1.  The aftermarket has a straight section in the radius traveling from the 
body side to the front of the rim and it is also a little longer than the 
original.

2.  More noticable, the aftermrket has about a 3/16" space between the chrome 
headlight retainer and the rim.  It is very noticeable compared to the 
original rim.

My question to the list is if I buy another aftermarket rim will it match the 
aftermarket I have, or should I bite the bullet and buy two new rims.  

Has anyone purchases a aftermarket rim that fits better than the one I have?  
If so, what supplier was it puchased from?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
