i need to make a decision about wheels for my 1957 Farilane 500 and i've narrowed it down to two options, but i still got questions.

option a) Astro supreems with pinstripe whites.
I know this has been discussed before, but where is the best place to get these? Is there a preferable tire size.

option b) Crome reverse wheels with spider caps.
I don't think i wanna run OE Ford style wheels cause they have got the "channels" in the spider near the lugs. i like the four gaps that are on OE style wheels though.
Is it possible to get chrome reverse wheels with smooth spiders and the four spider to wheel gaps you see on OE ford wheels? again- this will be run with pinstripe whites.

opinions?
pictures?
all is appreciated.

thanks

Go with the Astros.

Astros are cool, but on a '57 ya gotta go with the chrome reverse. At least that's what we would have done in the Mission. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Get ahold of Pete Paulsen he can hook you up with the chromies that your lookin' for.

Chrome reverse with wide whites, and spring for the bullet centers. Wheels are about $50.00 each, available everywhere, caps are $25.00 each thru wheel vintiques. Here is a pic of my late model caprice with the setup, cheap, easy, good looking, and easy to keep clean.
