Polished trim rings on a Superbird?

I read somewhere that "NO SUPERBIRD CAME WITH POLISHED TRIM RINGS ON THE 15" RALLYE WHEELS"  My late December built Superbird has brushed rings.  We all know all 14" rings are brushed.  I see a lot of Superbirds on E-bay and pics on this site of high dollar restoration cars with polished rings.  Anyone know for sure what is correct???  WINGNUT426

Were both polished and brushed 15" trim rings available for 1970 models? Was one style for 1970 and the other for 1971, similar to the Rallye wheel center caps (Dark painted vs. light painted)?
I hope I didn't hijack your thread. I figured my questions relate to your original question.

Of all the vintage factory photos of Superbirds, they all appear to have polished rings, I've yet to see brushed rings on any 70 15 inch Rallye wheel other than TA/AAR cars, and they could come both ways depending on build dates

If you have the Broadcast Sheet, it will be specified as "Wheel Cover" on Line 4. They are polished if the code is "43' for p/n 3461043 for 15" wheels

both cars here have polished rings and we've had them since 76.  Rick Edwards swears he never changed his out and they're brushed.

Original to the car.

Just checked my broadcast sheet and the code for "wheel cover" is 22.  Galen's breakdown of the codes shows 43 early,(polished)  and 22 late,(brushed).  Thanks for the input, I answered my own question!   Wingnut426

Don't have a GG book handy,  but is 24 on the BC sheet the magnum 500 road wheel, or what?

"24" is the last two digits of the 14" (ROAD or RALLYE) trim ring #2944424

Ok, ...Thanks. 

Nutter question,...which wheel does the 61 code refer to,...Road or Rallye?

Here is a factory tag with the part number 3461043 off my Superbird original polished trim ring.
Does any one have an extra with mild curb rash for a driver?
