Projects Pic request - 57 Chevy with any wheels and whitewalls that aren't stock

Like it says.. looking for ideas for a 57 bel air hardtop..

Was thinking about going to stock with caps and wwws, but might want to go 15" instead.. I have to buy everything regardless, so open to ideas. I just want to see some pics

Current 15" torque thrust with staggered white letters aren't working for me

 

Turn the white letters in & call it done. Very nice '57 you have there.

 

Nothing wrong with American five spokes on a 57 Chevy unless it's those funky 17's.
Cragars aren't for everyone but I think they are timeless on a timeless classic car.

 

Chrome reverse and blackwall for me

Hard to imagine anything better than what you've shown.

If you have a good profile shot, post it on the Photoshop Thread HERE:
https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...-to-end-all-photoshop-threads.300531/page-745
and see what they come up with. Some talented folks there, with great ideas.

Some credible options.



(Sorry for the year.)

 

Did someone say they wanted pictures of '57 Chevys?

 

....................Like slowmotion said, flip those white letters and you're golden.

 

Thanks guys... But for once I finally have a car the wife loves after years of never b dreaming of a 57... And wife likes stocks and wwws, so trying to think up a good middle road. I was thinking chromes with spiders, but good to see it..

For me, the torques are a little too "muscle-y" .. I prefer custom, cruiser look personally

 

I am a fan of chrome wheels, spiders with dropped spindles for the front or a rubber rake at the very least. However I agree with a couple of the other guys, you have got one fine Chevy just like it sets. If however the WWW helps your wife buy in I would suggest giving it a spin.

 

Can't figure out editing on mobile, but they don't have to be wide whites. Skinny ok

 

..........Show this one to your wife.

 

I'm sorry, but '57 hardtops were made for 5-spokes! Nothing looks better on a '57. I agree with turning in the whites and be done. Or, the older, original straight 5-spokes may be more to your liking.

 

Yes, I want a whitewall option .. I'll likely keep these for when I feel like em

 

I too would be I interested in seeing some 57's with wheels other than stock or dare I say 5 spokes.

this isnt a 57 chev, but a sister car, my 55 poncho

 

Not that I am trying to take over his thread but any body have picks of full corvette wheel covers on there tri 5. I've always wondered how they would like as a 15 inch alternative to the factory 14's. P.s. the Astros with wide whites looks good on the black bel air!

This is one tuff look, and the way I remember seeing a lot of 'souped up' machinery roam the street back in the day. I know it's not what the OP was looking for, but just thought it worthy of a mention.

 

My high school parking lot was full of this look in 64, some added baby moons and few had custom wheels, $$$, I still like this look.

 

Here is my 57 with station wbagon rims and 2 and one quarter Diamond back whitewalls

Here's a couple I saved from somewhere. I really like this look.

 

Are you running disc brakes with those? I dig the pic of the car making laps on the dirt track!!!

CarNut.Com, go to the classic car forum, then to 1957 Chevrolet, or whatever year/make of car you're looking for. Literally thousands of examples. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

I've used both the torque thrusts and corvette ralleys. Like the torque thrusts the best! No white letters!!

 

Yes disc brakes and drop spindles. I had some old aluminum slots on it but after adding disc brakes they wouldn’t clear the calipers so I went with the good old steelies and powder coated them

 

1973...I was bucks-down so I scored these 8 inch corvette ralleyes for cheap from work. Cragar SS's were the current rage at that time but I spent my money on a 327 with 11 to ones, fueler heads, Muncie 4 speed etc etc....
