Yeah, good thing the car is silver. Not sure about the wheels. Bought them 5 or 6 years ago for my 67 Lemans project, but that one is a long way from custom wheels.
454Muscle has the same wheels.

Your going to take the monte to cruise week? That's not too far for you though, right? I don't think I have the confidence, since the swap, to take a trip that far yet. Need to drive it a little bit more first. Work out all the kinks. The tow bill from Ocean City to Bowie would be crazy.

Time for the front suspension. I read on other posts that s10 springs fit our cars. Since the swap, the front ends sits higher than the front. Probably about 1.5" or so. Guess the SBC weighs lighter than the SBO. If I put s10 v6 springs in it, will it bring it down about that much. I looked at another thread and it listed the Moog spring conversion chart, but the local AutoZone doesn't supply that exact model, they only have the Duralast brand. They basically list 2 for the s10 v6(with and without AC). Which should I get? Since its AutoZone, If I don't like the stance I can take back and they come with a lifetime guarantee.

Just checked, they are Eagle Alloys. 15x8s. Super deep lip, simple 5-star design. 235/60s in rear, 215/60s in front.
