I spy a G-body in the garage! Nice!

Also I vote to keep the pinstripe, and I think your wheels would look great with some appropriate center caps.

YUP!! 86 Monte Carlo SS, Mild build 350, t top car. Original 305 is in the shed wrapped in plastic. I love it. The other car ( a 76 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham, 455) is there to keep it company... Lol!

Thanks for the input! Any recommendations for center caps?

I think these would look cool, black six lug GMT400 caps. Part number 15635474.

There's also the chrome ones if you want a little contrast, part number 15634850.

They're both discontinued unfortunately, but you could probably find some in salvage yards. I'm sure a printing shop could make you the appropriate emblems for them too.

I own 7 gmt 400's and yes i have a problem lol. All of them i had professionally striped in two tone with the interior color and an accent color. For example my 1999 slt suburban, burgundy leather interior, white exterior, has a burgundy and silver pinstripe. Clean and classy with no "gaudy" swirls and waves. Keep it simple and looking awesome.
