and really they never made one that color right? Rubber tires would be nice but it's a Lincoln.eah no doubt your rims look a lot better than the original. I like your last picture the best.

Wow, Harry! That is amazing! The original wheels were almost enough for me to not want the car, but your swap has saved it. What a great transformation. Very inspiring. Thank you for showing it.

You wouldn't expect gold rims to work this well on a mint green car. But it does! I like!

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Big sedans or luxury barges can look good with gold wheels. Keep that in mind when doing customs and you don't know what to do with a nice set of gold wheels.

Thanks for the idea and inspiration, Harry! I played copy-cat, and this re-wheeled Lincoln looks just as good in-hand!
