Yeah, I was thinking the same - body color with some patina. Black just isn't going to look factory IMHO, don't think that was ever done was it? Mine came with lemans blue wheels from the factory, same color as the body.

I wonder how it would look with the lip black and the wheel center blue?

I’m with skip no caps - fits the drag racing aesthetic no decoration (caps) necessary - roaster shop pulled it off beautifully with this build a few years back

I'd try for matching the blue first as to many people are going with black wheels now. You can fall back to black if it doesn't work out with the blue. You could also try, black lips as suggested in the interim to see how that would play out.

And, I'd go with center caps so long as they'll stay on at speed.

I dig the blue wheels with the caps. It’s a modern take on the stock look.

I was surprised to see just caps on this TA…glad Pontiac didn’t go with body colored wheels though.
