I absolutely hate the hubcaps, think they give the car a cheesy look. I have a perfect set of them, and just find them to be annoying. Am I the only one? Also am thinking about painting my steelies white to match my vinyl top, blue car. Was wondering if anyone had seen this done in the past.

If you really don't want your hubcaps and are willing to sell, I may be able to take those off your hands. If you want to keep them, no worries, I just wanted to put up the offer.
Thanks,

to me nothing is cheesier than putting steel wheels on a new yorker and making it look like a cab or a wannabe cop car blues mobile.
theres several different wheel covers that look good
imo best wheel for them to have is road wheels.
which wheel covers do you have now ?

I presume you're referring to "wheel covers" rather than "dog dish hub caps"??
 
you are correct in my case sir !
i will amend my inaccurate terminology in my response
:thumbsup:

With more consideration and a mock-up I would agree that steelies look bad outright. I plan to get another set of 15s but something more classy, any recommendations would be great.
 
Yes, that I was what I mean by wheel cover. I appreciate the feedback so far, not very good with terminology. I am planning to get something like what you posted, might even get a set of turbines just having a difficult time imagining what they would look like on my car.
 
Mine had wheel covers originally and skirts. Previous owner removed the skirts. I still have the skirts and wheel covers in the trunk. I have the Road wheels on it now.

Nice Ride.... Liking the color green.... never used too! Love to see it with the skirts on....Love the aluminum trim!
 
Man that's a looker....Put the skirts back on!! I just love the '74-78 Formal Coupes (both styles)!
 
I plan on it. Previous owner cut the brackets off. There is some rust in the bracket areas, so I have to reconstruct the lower inner quarters and make new brackets. Unless someone has an extra good used set of skirt brackets to get rid of????
