Don't do it. Put it back to stock. JMHBUAO.

Yes on open windows (the highlight of a 4-dr HT) No on wires (much better with stock wheelcovers).

Gorgeous model, the window mods clean it up considerably. Keep the original wheels.

I have this model and would stick with the Imperial wheels. It looks nice with the side windows removed.

Thanks guys and I have gone back to stock wheel, and agree, it looks better than that wire wheel in this case. I did the other sides window mod though, polished her up and shes back in the display cabinet.

I do want to thank all for the input. I really want to use those wheels on something but since the majority of my collection is American Muscle its hard to find something time period to put them on.

The wires would look great on MCG’s 1941 Cadillac Sixty Special.

John... what are you up to with the white and red models ?

Maybe the white model is a Mustang ?
