1958 Dodge
I picked up an old set of 4 Cragars that have been sitting on top of each other for a very long time. Covered in dirt, but in good shape.
One has pinstripes on it, different for each spoke. I can't bring myself to clean it yet as it will lose some of the paint.
Plan is to run them as-is, but thinking of either striping the others to match, or picking one spoke and doing all the same.
What say you?

Nice find on the wheels.
Concerning their appearance and if they need to match cosmetically.
That really depends upon how finished the rest of the car will be.
Personally I think that the wheels and tires are the single biggest accent on any car and especially on classics.
I would want all 4 wheels to match, and I would keep the pin striping on the wheels only if there was also pinstripe on the main body of the car and the pinstripes tied in together.
Even with the body of the car in a ‘patina’ condition, I would have those classic Cragers looking maybe not brand new, but maybe dusty nice.
Just my thoughts.
By the way, thanks for saving that car.
From my early youth, the first car I remember my Dad having is a 56 Dodge station wagon, he bought it new. Pink and Charcoal with a sand colored top.
IIRC had Red Ram on the valve covers. Push button transmission, big white wall tires,,, I would give about anything to have that car today.
