The car had three different brands of tires on it. Four of the tires actually held air although they all need to be replaced before they car is driven anywhere.
But, I couldn't put my freshly painted and detailed hubcaps on a dirty wheel and tire. So, I cleaned up the old tires (even the ones that didn't hold air!), matched up the wheel paint to some unfaded portions on the backside of the wheels, and gave them a quick spray.
This photo is actually one of the original hubcaps that I cleaned up and hand painted.
