My first choice (judging from your photos) would be the original style wheelcovers, but if I had to change to one of the alloy wheel styles I'd go with #3.

I was for #1 until I saw the originals, which are now my first choice.

Hi, #4 wheels look pretty good, but stick with the wheel covers; And I agree with Andy, trailer looks like a Low Rider.

I think wheels #2 make your Airstream look thinner. And richer.

I like #1, but I'm biased because that is what we have ou ours.
Now if Cragar could make a set of Super Sports to fit, I'd do it!

I like the stock setup the best, but understand your wanting something different for a change. The spokes just don't look right on that vintage, I'd have to say top left, # 4

( But clean up the originals and put a good coat of wax on them and store them in a dry place away from pesky rodents who would love to make a home out of one and turn another into a bathroom ! )

The originals can look good. We did some creative paint work with reds and greys and the results were a big improvement IMHO.

The originals cleaned up are my first choice, then 2 for a little subtle pizzaz. Then 3 for just a bit more ghetto. But 4? Too sink-drain.
What a great distracting thread...
