What should I do with the wheels?

I think it would look best with the correct paint also. I have not seen any painted with the paint from Classic Industries, If you go that route show us a close up photo here so we can see how they look.

I used this paint on the wheels from my 70 Z and I highly recomend it. It has the corect texture as well as the color. I read that GM textured these wheels back in the 70's to emulate the look of the Tork Thrust D wheel and the texture of this paint is dead on IMO. OEM paint is almost always right on in the color, and in this case the texture as well.

Wasn't it suede textured? like a dash top?

Ish... sort of like a coarse texture. Smooth and polished is totally wrong. No wet sanding those wheels please!

Another vote for stock wheels and tires! Unless you get vintage TTD's and MT Indy Profiles...

The black painted wheels look good on a black car. But for your car I would go back to the original color.

This is a never on the ground spare from a 73. That looks darn close.

Maybe alittle off on the "flatness" but awful close.

Here's a pic of what the paint from Classic Industries looks like in direct sun light. I still contend that the color and the texture are dead on...and being in a rattle can, what could possibly be any easier!

If the flat finish is used how do you seal it or protect it from dirt, brake dust etc. And better yet how do you clean them without screwing up the finish??? Does anyone know about the laquer products listed in the above link??
