    Nice car. I’d 86 the Wal Mart wires and racing stripe, but otherwise it’s a pretty car.

    Those are exactly what I would put on it! I totally agree with you Mark. My pet peeve is wrong wheelcovers.

    I must admit those factory hubcaps do look pretty neat.

    Now, having said that, how many of you would paint the outer smooth ring areas body color, to match the car's paint? That was an option from the factory.

    Not I. I like the later color keyed wheel covers that were their own issue with the vinyl color painted in the center cap.
