Allen, that made up my mind for my car. It is still at the paint shop but is painted (all silver) and I was wanting to change the rally wheels. I love the look of your car/wheels and didn't even think about going without the trim rings. I also wanted to do a pin stripe but my painter talked me out of it. Now that I see yours, I may do the stripes.

Cool! If you'd like more pictures of my Nova for reference, PM me with your email and I'll send some.

I'm really happy with how my Nova turned out. The black pin stripes on the body line really set it off, and goes well with the black insets on the rims.

Regarding the option of trim rings on the wheels, Ken said he couldn't bring himself to install them because it just looked so right without them. Plus, once installed, you're committed to keeping them because they'll scratch the paint on the rims. I promised to leave it alone for a bit and see how I liked it, and he was right.... it does look tough in my biased opinion. That's how mine will stay.

That car is killin me Bart! Got to go get it back! I also like Cragars on a nova. Keystones were always on Warren and Registers Stock/Superstock camaros. chevelles and novas in the old days. They were NOT just for Mopars and look good too. One thing though.....got to run the nylon thumpers. NO radials!
