    I'm sitting on the fence about this...I picked up for cheap 4 alum Olds mags last nite. I really was only after the tires, 2 of are almost new c/w all the nipples and that bit of from the tire mold blead through on the tread. There is no pitting or curb damage period, they are just real dirty. Kinda thinking to polish them up and paint the centers blue as in the link I posted or stick with my steel ralleys.

    Just not sure, I will have another set of rallys with snow/ice tires on in the winter, summer mags maybe?

    I like 'em! Not sure I would paint the centers blue, though......
    If mine, I would paint the center spoke area that's kinda dark a brighter silver........

    I'm on the fence. I like both sets of wheels. The steelies as well as the aluminum.

    I hate when decisions are hard.:cheers:

    Aluminum wheels, definetly....I'd paint the currently painted area a darker gunmetal grey to set the machine finished spokes off....

    Same wheels they used on the late 70's Hurst Olds, BTW..
