What should I do with the wheels?

[70 Forest Green Zee]

I'd keep it all stock! Looks like a great car.!! Classic industries has the correct wheel paint in a rattle can made by OEM. It is the absolute correct color and has the correct texture that those wheels had when new. It's on page 454 of their latest Camaro catalog and the order # is 11010. It's a little pricey at 50 bucks a can, and you'll need 2 cans to do all 4 wheels, but it's the best you'll find in a rattle can and its the right color and texture. I'd also put the correct Goodyear Polyglass GT's (F60 X 15) back on as well....they are available from Kelsey Tire. Great car...keep it all stock!!!

Paint them back to the correct color would be my vote.

I say go with some chromed out 20 inch dub wheels and ultra low rim denting profile tires..............sorry off my meds for a second.............go OE color and wheels it will look great on a great car. I would not worry too much about the wheel paint outdoing your body paint, it will stick out more to you than the rest of the world.

I think it would look best with the correct paint also. I have not seen any painted with the paint from Classic Industries, If you go that route show us a close up photo here so we can see how they look.

I used this paint on the wheels from my 70 Z and I highly recomend it. It has the corect texture as well as the color. I read that GM textured these wheels back in the 70's to emulate the look of the Tork Thrust D wheel and the texture of this paint is dead on IMO. OEM paint is almost always right on in the color, and in this case the texture as well.

Wasn't it suede textured? like a dash top?

Ish... sort of like a coarse texture. Smooth and polished is totally wrong. No wet sanding those wheels please!

Another vote for stock wheels and tires! Unless you get vintage TTD's and MT Indy Profiles...
