    Your welcome David, those have a lot of miles on them just in shipping, from Kentucky to Oregon then back to Kentucky, I would have kept them but they were just taking up space and really want 15 inchers. They will look good on whatever you put them on, they are classics. I have a nice old set of Keystones that are really classics also

    thats because they are not painted and the gray does not do that kind of wheel justice

    Yeah, I think when you're done refinishing those wheels they'll really look great. I was going to get a set of those for my car before I ran across a deal on the wheels I've got now. They've always been a favorite of mine. What's the plan on the paint?

    They will never look right... untill you get the correct amount of lug nuts on them :p. Center caps and the paint will make em bling! What size tire is on them now? They look a little tall for me, but just a little.

    I'm thinking the wheels might look their best painted the same as the car, with those black dust protectors behind them. :2cents:
