The back end looks a little high. I would take off the Chrome strip across the sides maybe. Just my .02

I would love to get rid of the chrome strip, but I'm not sure how involved that is....
Most of those strip were help on by double stick tape and pop rivets. Some had pop rivets all along the pieces and some had then only near the ends.
If the ends are metal tipped, I bet there are rivets. Some styles did not have metal ends and only used the tape.
Look under the fender or near the door ends for evidence of the rivets. Also, when warm, the rubb er center should slip out and then expose any mounting rivets.

And I agree that a different wheel can TOTALLY change your perception of the car.
My thoughts exactly. In my opinion, Magnum 500s look great on those cars. 235/65R15s up front and 255/60R15s in the rear. The stance looks pretty good, just not enough rubber to fill the wheel wells."silverblueBP" said:If it makes you feel better, I'm not a fan of the current wheels. They just don't have that "period" look...to me.
You could change the tire profile to help fill up the gaps.
For instance, when I ran street tires, I had 215/60-15's (26"), they completely filled the wheel openings. Track rubber is 225/45-15 and the shorter tire (23") leaves a lot of extra space.
