nice k-5 im kinda jealous!!! lol. if you wanna go all out have your wheels polished at someone who restores and polishes aluminum wheels,possibly someone who does motorcycle wheels. i had mine done from a wonderful guy named dane. he does small scale chrome plating and anodizing and he did mine and they were completely awesome.he charged $80 a side for each wheel. the k-5 wheels you have were the same as i had and he said gm made those wheels in a spun aluminum fashion. some people call them center lines because of the way they are made. this is why i love old trucks, especially the k-5, because these trucks were made to be restored.
