A while back I posted this quickie project  whereas I replaced those oh-so-puny Sunstar wheelcovers with proper-sized ones pirated from Welly's 1963 Impala SS.  The five new proper-sized whitewall tires were lifted from Revell's 1965 Mustang.     I think you'll agree, even if you're not a fan of this replica, that it does look better.       Why not take a second look?    🤔

Thanks Tony, Steve....    But I goofed.    I was just informed by another collector that my spare should actually be a 4-lug rim, not a 5-lug.   Since I cast my own rims it's a relatively easy fix....    I just need to do it - but I'm so lazy!    😮 😲 😖
