You know, I thought about doing this and trying to find a cool, retro center cap to make it into a cheap set of rally wheels. I think if you got the right cap, it would be slick.

Like these caps. I wonder if they would fit on a standard steel wheel...

I have steel rims I have them having a lot of weights on them to balance them I still don't know what I bumped into to have it weighed down like that. but it looks like a beater the stock rims I originaly had on the car were stolen and had to go to a steel rim the dealer wanted a arm and a leg for the stock replacement aluminum rim.

I apologize for taking so long to upload these pics. These Cragar black steel wheels give my Monte a different "retro" look and the Cop Impala caps add to it! I found these hub caps on Ebay. They're from a Police Impala, time frame from early 2000's. What do you guys think?

I would use those as back ups when needing another set of tires for the aluminums. use one of them as a full size tire instead of the donut. so to be able to do the speed limit with out worring about the donut wanting to come apart
