Now that looks really good! The wheels are very important on the F's, M's, and J's due to the full wheel openings. Those set off your wagon very nicely. It's interesting how much the wheels can change the appearance of the car.

Thanks for all the positive replies. Wheels do change everything about the look of a car. These cleaned up rather well, still some more polishing to do.

I love those wheels but I haven't ever came across any for sale yet. Nice!

Looking nice (and I'm jealous).

Thanks Bud. Do you know the lug nut torque ?

A close up of my wheel and center cap. My domes did not look as nice as I thought they would after the one I bought from 65 Dartman arrived. So I bought 3 new domes from Vintage Parts ( pricey ) but no center caps anywhere. I found some hubcaps in the salvage yard for 68-69 Charger 14" wheel and removed the medallion then figured a way to attach to the dome. Here is a picture. I had to put 3 small notches with a round file in the dome so the post on the medallion would fit, then a 3/8 nut on the post, flat washer and screw. The front was this way because of the grease cap fit. On the rear I cut a disc from sheet metal that fits inside the dome that the medallion attaches to.

Nice custom touch. They look great.

I like that black wall tire and the black wheel paint background combo.

Looks nice!

Looks great!

I'd love to find a set of wheels for my Doba.. or a set of those "turbine" style hub caps.
