Wheel Vintiques is probably your best bet for aftermarket. Stay away from the 360* tooth style
as they tear up the wheels pretty badly and many have had problems with the fit. Wheel Vintiques
does a pretty job stating what wheels their rings fit.
Here's one supplier. These have prongs. Not teeth. If you have aftermarket wheels these may not work. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-3001-15-1

The OER ones I got were 15/7 factory flat bead. They have the ring with the clips all around. I don't care about them tearing up the paint on the wheels. After all they cover up the scratches. They just don't stay put . They will move as you drive. That pushes them against the valve stem.
The ones in your link look exactly like the OER rings I bought. The mounting tabs don't hold tight against the wheel. Causing them to walk on the wheel at highway speeds. Everytime I drive my car I have to take the rings off and re center them. The push against the valve stems. I'm scared they will slice a stem. Will be replacing them as soon as I find a correct and quality replacement.
I'd be looking into the ones from Summit, that Al posted. They look the same as OE, including mounting clips, at a reasonable price and you can't beat Summit's customer service or free shipping (over $100).
Pulled the trigger on the rings from Summit. They look good with the exception of the valve stem hole. The bright part looks good, but the metal backing needs trimming. Spent a few minutes with the did grinder and all is well . I drove 300 miles in my car today to and from an out of state car show. They didn't move. So I guess they are ok.
First pick is a better one of the valve stem hole with the extra metal. Can be trimmed in less than a minute with a die grinder. Although I do like the look of the car with the original Goodyear's and no cap and rings. Reminds me of the good old days at the track .
