    I agree, use caps, but something no one else uses. I like my old ones, '57 210 Chevy dog dishes with bullets. It looked even better with the whitewalls. FYI, I would have eventually changed over to chrome wheels behind the caps and beauty rings to add that much more depth. Good luck!

    Caps of some sort or pick up a set of spiders and rings and paint up the rims real nice and swap back and forth as the mood strikes.

    If you get tired of those Cad caps you can always offer to sell them to me.

    repaint the rims and run spiders
     
  22. In my humble opinion it doesn't get any better than the caps you have now,

    and if given a choice of clean whitewalls or dirty,,I would vote clean. HRP

    Caps.

    The '57 Caddy-style you've got are nice, but '57-'58 Dodge Lancers would be even nicer. Or maybe '54-'55 Olds Fiestas. But I'd've put Lancers or Fiestas on every car I ever owned if I could have...
