wasnt searching for rims for the car but i found a set of these at the junkyard believe it or not. in good shape with exceptional curb rash and few scuff marks. it comes with no centercaps but i like them without it. it was too good to pass up. thinking of powerdercoating them gold like the hurst edition. I like them, its not to flashy but its not dull.

I would leave them as is. Gold would look hideous IMO.

Looks good actually. To me though would look better with a center cap but I can't tell if the wheel will accept a center cap or not but all in all, they look good.
