Oh CBody guru’s!! Please advise.
The painted Center and painted wheel.. OE or no? I think 78 the centers were body color. School me please.

Congratulations on the purchase! What a great site, members helping you find the car. So cool.
Moving forward, I'd put the coil and ballast resistor back where they belong. It bothers me seeing them bolted to the alternator bracket! LOL!

Not OE for 77. The outer area by the bead should be black. The centre area painted in silver.
Looking at the pic closer, you have 15x7 road wheels...would have come from an 80's M body. There may be plastic shields on your car, held on by the centre dome that are in the body colour. That's how it was done on the 80's M body cars.
And they look like this:
Mine are 15 x 7" and with a generic trim ring that covers the painted portion nicely.

Ya? No letters or numbers?They probably won't let me run this... and yes, that's a real NY plate.
Sample run plate. Local tool shop made the tooling for Auburn prison in the next town.

Thx Big John.. I do like the color matched look though. I may keep the center matched and blacken the outer as you mentioned. You also mentioned generic centers.. where can acquire a set?
I think you mean trim rings.
The PO of my car found them at Carlisle, but I'll bet a search on eBay will find them.

Not sure Javier, the shipper states he’ll put her on the first truck heading East, but with Xmas and new year being close, no trucks heading this way till January.. I’m hopeful though that he’ll find one soon.

Update: she’ll be picked up this Saturday.. 7-10 days from then she’ll be home.
