1977-79 T-Bird polycast wheels

I drive a 1979 T-Bird as a daily driver here in Florida. My Bird came from the factory with what you've pictured: Ford Polycast wheels with trim rings and center caps. I replaced the polycast style with the more pricey cast aluminum turbine wheels (see pix) found on the Diamond Jubilee Editions and Heritage models.

The color of the rubber facing for the polycast wheels was designed to match the color of the vehicle. These are valuable wheels, hard to find, and worth $ on e-bay. My two cents worth. Tim

Realize this is from seven yrs ago, but I just joined the forum. I have a '56 Crown Vic and have these wheels on it. I'm looking for some trim rings and center caps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe.
