The original rim center caps are long gone. I got these chrome spinners to brighten up an otherwise very dark car. I was pleasantly surprised to see how shiny the rims got with some polish. Overall, I would rather have Cragar SS rims, but these will do nicely until I "strike it rich". 
The tires have a bit of dry rot but lots of good tread, so I figured I would use them for a while. The whitewall radials on the stock rims in the other pics are wearing out and the steel belts are showing so they gotta go.
The rear tires are 235/70R15 and fill the wheel well, believe me.
If I get any rub, I plan to change to a 235/60R15 which is 1.9 inches smaller in total diameter. That will lower the car about an inch but also give me about an extra inch all around the wheel well.
I really considered going to a 215/60R15 but they are not recommended for a 8.5" rim.
