Yeah, but I really don't know what I want to do. I know I want to be different. I actually really like the N96 wheel covers. My Dad isn't too keen on them, and I want to make him happy too.

Now, my Dad & I discussed getting a set of old school 14"x6" 5-spoke Hurst wheels. I know repros are available, but we'll keep our eyes out for a set of real ones to restore

I'm really bummed out right now, though. I went to put on the P01 wheel covers (onto the rally wheels). I guess the rally wheels are just a little different, because I can't get the wheel covers to go on. They fit fine (although a little tight) on the original wheels.

So, it looks like the original wheels will need to be refinished no matter what. I can go all black and use the P01 wheel covers or N96 covers, or paint the faces silver and install the dog dish caps & trim rings.

I'll head down to The Wheel Shop in Windsor Locks to see what they get for refinishing a set of steelies. I just can't pay for 3 hours each in labor (at $70/hr) plus materials.
