Guest btate Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think I will go back to my original wheels. My hub caps do not look new, so I think I will powder coat wheels, add beauty rings, a chrome center cap and chrome lug nuts. I wonder how that will look. Corky Coker 54' buick Roadmaster looks good. I am not sure where to buy the rings, caps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Trim rings are available in body shop supply houses. My preference is the chrome plated ones. Chrome has a much more colorful shine than stainless.In the mid 1980's I had a black 4 speed '74 Nova with red buckets. I got a set of Pontiac styled steel wheels, 14's in front 15's in the rear. I painted them gloss black, covered the Pontiac center cap with a Chevy emblem, and put chrome trim rings all around. I made black headlight covers and did some judicious blackout of the chrome.I remember a couple of kids screeching their bikes to a stop so they could get both thumbs up.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
