Right after World War II there was a shortage of white wall tires. These white trim rings became available at that time as an accessory. I think they were also used on some new cars mostly Chrysler products.  They were sometimes called wheel spats. They disappeared when white wall tires became widely available.

While looking in the April, 1948 K-F parts catalog, I noticed what they called "plastic white wall rings" in the Accessories section (#40). They were listed in group 40.122 and the part number was 200007.
