Which hubcaps do you like better?

I personally like the copo look better than the Z16. But with such a nice car you cannot go wrong with either one

The wheels  with the dog dish caps, if I go that way, will be painted Regal Red.

On your car, I like the spokes.

Dog dish, much easer to clean. Would a SS have come with dog dish in 66?

Whatever ones do NOT fly off at high speeds through the turns on Highway 60 (between Zumbro Falls and Wabasha)

I like the dog-dishes... never been a fan of full wheel covers on anything.

Leave it like in the pictures with one side of the car having each!razz

I like both.  I personally prefer the dog dish but the spoke covers are much less common and would be more distinctive.  Tough call.

 Not my car; but this is how it would looks with red wheels.  Increase the size of your window first and then click on the photo.

If it was my car, I would go with the dog dish covers. To me, they give more of a muscle car look. I like the current look, but do think matching the wheels to the color of the car would be even nicer. Of course, all this is only my opinion, but that's what you asked for.

Ive always liked the look of the spokes. I always wondered if my car had those when it was new.

 Hub caps (dog dish) was the base cap on ALL Chevelles for many years. Full wheel covers of any style were an additional option.

I vote for the spoke covers...thumbsup

I'd go with the dog dish caps and painted wheels. Of the five "old" cars I have, four have painted steelies and dog dish caps.
