For the concourse 100pt. stock people, these wheels along with correct period hubcap win trophies. Bias ply tires are still available, both in highway and traction tread. IMO, those wanting the correct factory look pre '69 are largely outnumbered by whatever fits and is cheaper.
That is a nice Carryall Panel.
