Hi Brian,
I'm running painted wires on my slabside. I like the look much better than chrome.
There's a guy on eBay who lives in England that is selling exact replicas of AC knock-offs at a reasonable price. I don't think he has any auctions going at the moment, but if you look under "Completed Auctions" and then search under, say, "AC Cobra Knock*", you might find one of his old auctions. You can then send him an email for further info.
Finally, the ONLY choice for tires on a slabside are Michelin XWX in 215/70VR15. They fill the wheel wells perfectly. Buy them at Coker Tires (
www.cokertires.com).
Good luck!
Alan in L.A.
