You can run them without trim rings 'ala Judge' too if you like a more simple look, or just to keep from having your trim rings stolen on a daily driver.
They can also look good painted in non-factory colors (I'm sorry that my examples aren't mounted on '66-'67 A-body cars).
Here's a set of 15X7s painted with bright silver and gloss black acrylic enamel with no trim rings, 235/60 tires.
Another set of 15X7s with no trim rings (or caps), painted in a duller silver and gunmetal gray (I mixed some black with the silver) acrylic enamel, 245/60 & 275/60 tires:
Okay, and finally a plain-steel wheel built in 17X8" size with a 235/45 tire. Shown here with and without the poverty cap, it's both subtle and a little outrageous all at the same time. Just one of these wheels (unpainted) costs about the same as a whole set of 4 good used Rally IIs that need restoration so they're not nearly as budget-friendly. Very heavy at 37# bare compared to a 15X7 Rally II at 25#:
