Thanks guys! I was on the fence about this but it does kind of look like somebody stole them. I appreciate the opinions. The rings will be going back on today.

What do you think about running the chrome rally wheels, with the 67' flat center cap and leaving the trim rings off. May be the best of both worlds???

I must be in the minority on this one. I think without the trim rings it has a more aggressive look and you can see the slots better. The car with the flatter '67 center caps looks super cool too!

I like with, but the fact that your rally wheel paint under the trim rings is so nice I like how it looks without also.

I'm with you on the no trim ring look. The 67 centers really clean up the appearance and give it the aggressive look. I was thinking about aftermarket wheels, but now I'm going for no trim rings, 67 centers and maybe chrome rally's.
