Wagon wheels

Playing around with the wagon wheels to see if I could make them look better while I wait for tires for the chrome rims. Think they look okay. Might make the strip wider and taper it to see how that looks.

There was an owner a few years back that did the same thing to his wagon wheels, that a couple other owners than did it to theirs.

I remember that, there was also a guy who posted his template drawing for a do it yourself kit.

Came across these after a quick internet search

Definitely looks better with the accents added and yes, other owners did a similar thing a few years back.

Good looking car you have.

I think that's a nice improvement over the blah that they are stock. I would almost leave them on.

If one wants to improve the wheels look, simply have them chrome plated!.. GM never "finished the job" leaving them raw, unfinished, boring aluminum. 🤨
