I assume you are not talking the brushed style -- as I haven't found them anywhere!

It looks like '' Year One '' has Brushed 14'' rings, part #FD269 on page 326 of their latest B/E Body Catalog.  They'll only smoke you for $95 Each. Those are Authentic MOPAR Rings ! ! ! !
They've got reproductions in 14'' chrome, but NO brushed 14'' reproductions.

I just got a 14'' Magnum 500 style wheel from a guy. My car came with a brand new, never been mounted BFG that was built in 1981, it looks like it was built yesterday, but it had no wheel. So I needed a wheel for my spare tire.
 The wheel I got from this buddy of a buddy came with a brushed ring and center cap. I'll see if he's got more if you'd like.

If you are looking for the 14 in trim ring part #2944424 I believe they are still available at the dealership . If I remember correctly they were about $80.00 a piece ( I know more than you wanted to spend ) but at least it is an option and they should fit correctly !
 Good luck

thanks all, i can't believe they want that much for a trim ring, you can buy new wheels for that(as along as they dont say mopar on them)
the american way, gouge the public, and the idiots wonder why all of our manufacturers are moving out of our country.
My 2 cents lol

moparnut,
 I just noticed that you have a VTX, I've got a 2002 (1800) Retro in red, you gotta love all that torque. Just for kicks, I took mine to the local Drag Strip, 12.4 seconds at 104 MPH, what a blast..............

Just a follow-up -- I stopped by my local Dodge Dealer today and they searched -- no brushed trim rings available from MOPAR (part number isn't even listed any more).....  I sent a few emails to other Dodge dealers last night who advertise over the internet and received the same response from them today.....    I think we're out of luck.       However, for those with lots of stash -- check this out for $895.00    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350102893753&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=

Sorry I guess time flies when you work all the time.
I knew I had bought the 14inch trim rings from the dealer, went down to my parts room found some nos sets of 15 inch ring started to get nevrous but finally found the nos 14 in set pt # 2944424 . They still have the purchase reciept with them bought them 12/08/2004 I did not realize it had been that long they came from Monicatti Chrysler Sterling Heights Michigan .
 I was in the middle on cost also listed for $97.00 each paid $75.52 each .
 
 I know thats no help but it is interesting compared to $ 895

moparnut,

This is the stripped down, ready to sell version of my VTX.  I removed the Highway pegs, Saddle Bags, Honda Wind shield, Proggresive shocks, Low Boy Ultimate seats, Honda Sissy Bar, Chrome Lowers, ect, ect...........
 I'd like to sell it to have the extra cash, but I hate to sell it, because I still enjoy the occasional 106 horse power, 120 foot pounds of torque thrill that I get every time I ride her.......................
