I had Wheelsmith make a set of rims for me that mimic the original wheels.

The originals were 16"x4.5"

I had these Smoothies made in 16"x6" with 3.5" backspace. If I were to do it again I'd have them made in 16"x5" to more closely match the original appearance. Radial tires are installed.

They sell the hubcaps too. If you want to use your original hubcaps, they will have to weld clips to the rims to hold them. Their caps attach differently.

$1,523 including shipping. Worth it in my opinion.
