I think I'll pop the NOS P01 wheel covers over the existing rally wheels and run it like that for a little bit. Then I can blast & paint the original wheels so I can run the dog dish & trim rings if I want.
My Dad always ran the original P01 wheel covers, and with Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 white letter tires for most of its life. It's kind of a sleeper look, and certainly different. I don't think I've ever seen those wheel covers on a restored car in person.
My Dad said that back in the day people would look at the car and wonder what those 'high performance' tires were doing on that "plain jane" car. Then he'd hit the go pedal and let the L30 327 and F41 suspension show them.
