I ran those in 15 inch on the front of my 67 Caprice Jr. Stocker. Polished the outer ring and painted the spokes semi gloss black. Told people I couldn't afford anything pretty. Truth is, they were so light they almost floated away when unbolted from the car.

they are incredibly light , one of the best looking front runners ever! i polish the outside lips once in a while and i spray on Gibbs penetrating oil to protect them . sorry ...i now it's not a supercar chevy but it sleeps at night with them.
