The original spec trim rings were satin finished aluminum.The replacement
parts offered are polished stainless steel and do not exactly match the
original configuration. However, given the option of putting a beat up
old set on vs a nice new set... I guess I can live with a little
difference. But if anyone has a "perfect" set of NOS trim rings, I'd be
interested in buying them!
