Default Trim Rings

The guy who restored my trim rings just informed me that they are for a 68 to 82 Corvette. What style of trim rings do I need for a 69 Z-28 with a build date of 3rd week of January?
thanks

no, that is what I meant by

"they look like these except the 1st design has those stupid rim clips "

the surface of the rings are correct but the 4 clip design has been improved ...

the valve stem hole should be surrounded by the stainless, some are only a partial cut out

If you don't mind saying... how much does it run to have a set of 4 restored?
