swap meet score

Today 68C10HotRod and I went to a swap meet in Wahoo Ne, yes I said Wahoo. I found a nice set (4) of 15X7 6 lug ralleys. That's odd in and of itself, right? Well just to make things a little weirder, they're chrome too. I'm only gonna use 2 for the front and 2 15X8's that I already have on the rear. With the little bit of patina on the wheels and the little bit of patina on the center caps I have that I'm gonna run, They look awesome. Well anyway here are a couple pics. One with and one without the center cap. Now the big decision is, do I do something with the chrome on these, ie paint, blast, or polish? Or do I paint the 15X8's for the rear with a chrome paint to match the fronts? give me some opinions. I'll get better pics posted when I get a chance.

Re: swap meet score

Old rim, centercap looks to be late model. Pretty cool.

Re: swap meet score
