Sometimes you just need to hang up your bonnet as art! Looking good RickyJay
I'm sure there's a story there. Perhaps His Rickyness will deign to share. It's hard to tell with the reflections, but do I detect some slight asymmetry on the front edge?

Replaced the chromed Vela's with proper new stock silver wheels. I ended up ordering 4 new wheels, couldn't find 18's that I liked in aftermarket. I dropped the bling to celebrate spring!
if yoiu please, could you share the source for the new factory wheels ?
Multiple sources. The fronts were new-old-stock (NOS) from Quirkparts near Boston, through e-bay. I tried to buy both rears from Harper Jaguar, but at that time they had only one in stock. The plus side with Harper is their discount. Which leads to the fourth wheel, from an un-named dealer in New England, at 20% over retail, which was better than the other local dealer at 30% markup over retail! No kidding, over $900 per rear wheel!
So, yeah, I would recommend Harper Jaguar. Well packed and nicely priced.
EDIT: Harper has 20" wheels of different styles in stock at a discount, just realized you have 20's, mine are mere 18's.

Gave the interior a little cleaning -- some of my soft touch surfaces went sticky over the winter -- took it off the top of the steering wheel but don't love the black plastic look -- before I go down the rabbit hole of cleaning every surface, has any successfully replaced the steering wheel with the facelift wheel? The aluminum look trim I think is much more visually appealing.
