I bought mine from a Goodyear store so they changed mine.
They were a lot of work to keep shiney since wheels back then were not clear coated. I used a simichrome polish, an old t-shirt and my fingers to polish those dudes, regularly. Nice shiney aluminum wheels apparently attract dogs too. Dried urine is hard to work out of them too.
Hang onto yours bud.

Here are the center caps that go with them. Still in decent shape after all these years. They won't fit over the hub of the rotor on the front, so I've left them off all this time. When Dad had them on his truck he had adapters that made the wheel hang out further from the spindle so the caps fit just fine.
