I think some builders here could throw these on in light of all the expense

I think they would look great (maybe something like this)

I think they would look nice, but check the back spacing...4 inch minimum on a 6" wide wheel. More like a front wheel drive car wheel.

wheels

My 67 dart has left hand one side and right hand the other side. I think I read someplace it was supposed to keep them from loosening. They changed it in the 70's I think. Took my dart in to get tires, forgot to tell them it had left hand thread on one side, he started hammering with the impact, I ran in and told him, reversed the impact and it came loose.
I have to pull a wheel and check the offset and bolt pattern(I'm pretty sure I got hubs with Chrysler bolt pattern but wouldn't hurt to double check)
