I've been looking for one of "The 500" Superior Industries red metal flake wheels for a few years now. I always thought it would look nicely vintage on the car. It will also save the wear and tear on the original factory wheel's delicate woodgrain finish that my 200 or so miles a year have put on it over the past quarter century.
The early Father's Day gift arrived yesterday and I immediately installed it. Only took about 10 minutes with the still-available Grant adapter kit and horn button.
There's nothing like what a vintage hunk of 40 year-old, metal flaked, rubber and chrome will do to irritate the stock-o-philes.
We have our first cruise night tomorrow. We'll see what the reaction is.
