Well...
I sure thought that was a "three inch" on the Blazer and the wall but I reckon it's more proper a 2.5.

Strange. It appears this may be a unicorn moment...one of them deals you only hear about...it's almost like one of those rare times that I dont know wtf im talkin about - so I'll shut up.
About that.

5 bucks + the shipping. No handling charge bro, I got a box. :headbang:


Just because I was curious, I measured the one on Goldie.

From the inner lip to the outside of the flat is 2 inches.

Adding in the outer portion gets you roughly 2 and 3/4 ".

Not sure where 3 inch comes from .

Mine has the cut out for the value stem, not just a notch.

I always thought 2wds got narrower ones than 4wds.

Anyhoo, just a note on beauty rings AKA "rim trim" for searches down the road!

:boti:
