Based on my experience, the 1970's and 1972's should have a trim ring, while the 71's seem to have a chrome rim and don't use the trim ring. Must have been a great job to sit a desk and make these grandiose decisions. I like the chrome rim version better, provided the chrome is gleaming!

'70 and '72 14"x7" SSIs were all had black painted outer rims and used trim rings. '71s could have the same black/trim ring SSIs or an optional all chrome SSI wheel which did not need the trim ring.
