Ahh, found a local supplier for the chrome trim rings. Tried one on a very dirty and rusty winter wheel - the contrast looked a bit funny. Maybe another try some months later, on the summer wheels which are in a slightly better shape (and much much cleaner).

Thanks for the tip - for reminding me that such things exist.

I think your wheels look in pretty good shape, VND! Check this out for a comparison:
