 Steelies and snow tires are always a winning combination, even on a short hood |

^Awesome!! Looks like 5.5" rears, did you use a spacer on the rear hubs?

5.5"s all around actually, they're spare rims, I just replaced the space saver with 175 section Blizzaks (which was a huge pain in the ass as it happens).
And no spacers on the rears; the profile shot doesn't show it but the wheels are actually pretty deeply recessed into the arches. It's a little weird, but I like it. It looks like a rally car to my eye, and the difference doesn't negatively effect the handling. We've had pretty significant ice here this week, and I've had zero issues

Waiting for the Fuchs to get refinished, then planning on widening these to 7" (currently at 6") when they come off:

I finally got my spring plates on and lowered it to a more suitable ride height, down from the Rally stance it had. I still have to paint the inner black but I do like the steelie look

Looks great but why do hubcaps with silver crest?

I like the "basic" look. I'm entertaining the idea of losing side and bumper trim but haven't committed to it yet. I was referring to painting the part of the wheel hub that shows through the center of the wheel.

Yes I meant why not do hubcaps. They would look good with all your chrome trim. but the raw look does suit your car.
