The coolest would actually be to use the old center caps on these wheels somehow....

I have a set of the 17 dodge wheels on my 71, and had to put 1/4 spacers on the back to keep them from rubbing on the inner wheel well. I've been looking at putting some thicker spacers on it to get them flush, and allow the room for the late '90s style center caps.
