Its all an appearance thing I guess . . .
I'm comfortable I understand what you are trying to achieve.
A few years ago I bought a set of Cragar mags off craigslist that had some barely used but very old bias ply tires on them.
The muscle car guy who later got the tires from me nearly cried when he saw them. I had only kept them because I didn't want to pay the disposal fee at the tire shop, I was shocked anyone cared that much.
But that too was an appearance thing.
