Decided to go back to the stock wheels. Gave them a two-tone repaint in black and almond. Trim rings, hubcaps and new tires. I really like this look!

Looks great! IMO, stock steelies are the best looking 5 x 205 mm pattern rims.

Yeah, the more I look at it (which is a lot!) the more I like the two-tone paint and traditional look! Dave

I also think Smoothies represent the best classic and classy look. So much so that I went for faux smoothies on my 70
