Hi crew, does anyone know what these trim rings are for?
They're listed as Camaro 14", odd clip design though, never seen that before.
The ring looks like polished stainless. I think 1st gens were flash chromed steel?

Not for Camaro, that's for sure! The valve stem hole is not in the correct place.

I guess you mean in relationship to the clips? Yes, should be opposite a clip.
In any event, the notch is much shallower than a standard 14 x 6 Camaro ring and I doubt that it would fit around the valve stem on a rally rim.
Just curious if anyone has seen this type and what it fits.

They were polished stainless steel, which was then flash-chromed. :-)

Ah cheers John. Were there any Chevy's that had just polished stainless? And were there any Chevy's with brushed stainless trim rings?
<< Were there any Chevy's that had just polished stainless? >>
Nope. All polished stainless trim, including windshield moldings, trim rings, etc. were flash-chromed to protect the stainless substrate from oxidation and dulling. I don't recall any "brushed" stainless trim rings offhand.
