Wipers are good! Being metal even better!
As far as those wheels, they'd probably clean up good. Just make sure to measure them. I painted and polished a set before, went to put tires on them and they were 15.5 inch and hard to find tires for! I'm not sure about the lugs though. Probably a reason they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
how would you put a new blade on the wiper? so that way it has new rubber but it ha sthe old metal look.....

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
You can get replacement rubbers or buy the pre assembled wiper/blade for 7$

It looks close enough for me..

Well for the metal alone you can get at least $10-15 a wheel. I bought mine for $600 bucks. But they're actually vintage American Racing turbines. If you cleaned 'em up and painted in between the spokes (black or gray) you could probably get about $300 for 'em. Just my opinion/guestimation. < is that a word? :lol: And looks like they'd use Mag lug nuts like mine took, even though those are slotted/universal.
