Which wheels?

#3 gives it that sporty elegant look. That's my pick.
You'll likely get a LOT of responses here. None of these are anything yours truly would frown at. The "standard" wheel-covers (top photo) seem incomplete without whitewalls, and the "poverty caps" (second photo) are less impoverished with them as well. Road wheels are always nice, and I THINK these would have been available when the car was bought new. Go with what you like, but whatever was/is original for the car to begin with, be sure to retain them for if/when you need to sell.

Considering it is a hardtop with a vinyl roof, the whitewalls with road wheels look best (in my opinion).
Road Wheels look great!! If you go with the full wheel covers use whitewalls.
Poverty caps belong in the trash where people tossed them when these cars were new.

My aunt/uncle had that exact color/top 73 polara! My aunt always said it was the last of the polara's when they got it. They had a 360 in theirs. I can remember them having it stall as they didnt drive very far and it needed blown out. My dad and I (9 years old) went over and gave it my dad's patented gumout tuneup. Of course I got throttle position. I red-lined that thing...my dad said..."jesus chr... easy man, easy"! My uncle about ****.
Road wheels are overplayed. Dog dish caps look better, give it a look like the car might be driven, vs sitting in a garage for most of its life.

Wow I think all three look really good.
I don't see how you could go wrong with any of those looks!

Personally with the color, vinyl top and it being a hard-top I'd go with full wheel covers and whitewalls
The dog-dish might look good without the vinyl top.
The road wheels look out of place with that color.

I like all 3. I grew up with these cars when new and dog dish hub caps were usually on strip mobiles, this looks like a nicely optioned car and I think the full wheel covers or road wheels compliment the car more. Your car looks great in all 3 photos.

Road wheels would look better with the correct center caps.
Dog dishes look good.
Never put the full wheel covers back on the car.

1- Road wheels with the whitewalls. They were an available option on your car
2- Full wheel covers with whitewalls. Because that was the standard when the car was new.
3- Dog dish caps with body color steel wheels. Only if that is the look you want. IMO that look is best for 2 or 4 door sedans without vinyl tops. That's just my personal preference. Great looking Dodge BTW.

I agree with Wyatt that if you use the road wheels, the center caps should be the correct 70 - 73 caps.

Great looking ride!
Your road wheels look a lot better than mine. If you decide against using them LMK.
