Mine at this years HAMB drags Just something so right about a black steel wheel on a hot rod! But @JRussell 's chrome with painted inserts look badass too Photo by @cory27t
@inkstain27 thanks man , copied kirks/gambinos ford. That is a rad pic Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I KNOW, its a muscle car but it was my first car and I think the black steels really set it off. They are the only way to go.
Switched to ET wheels on the front but really liked the look of mine with black steel wheels all the way around still... One of my favorite pics from the Meltdown Drags
No steel wheels but still black gives it a bad ass sinister look Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
1940 Ford Sedan Delivery in front of a 40's house in Long Beach, CA Hello, I wanted to put on some real, American Racing Co. Mag 5 Spoke Wheels with blackwalls all around when we first got this Ford Sedan Delivery together. But, my wife had other ideas. She wanted a simple, but elegant look for the sedan delivery. We saw some small V8 style hubcaps at a show and she bought them on the spot with some beauty rings. That goes to show what the power of a woman on a mission can do, when it needs to be done. Jnaki Well, at least I painted the rims black to begin with after we bought it. But, you have to give a little to get a little... (so that is how a nice marriage is supposed to go...ha!) Twenty- somethings working together in hectic times of our society, what a concept. Black rims all the way...
so clean looking and do look very aggressive for the racer appeal. I agree they are the new "red wheel" look. When I was first in the sport in the 50's red wheels were the only correct look in my mind.
Black steelies on my 62 Catalina. Only way to go. my Dad always ran them on his cars back in the 60s.
I belong to the N.F.R.W. (no f'n red wheels) club. My old '33 p.u. and my '40 just after I cleaned it up last night. Back in the '60s (which I'm still stuck in) black wheels and baby moons were the thing. Read that the "cheap" thing.
Little known fact: Relatively unknown Swedish woman Norda Nordic was the first woman to ever ford a fjord in a '59 Ford. Tail lights are always half full of water
I went with black wheels because it is how I remembered it being done back in the late fifties and early sixties when I was very young and dreaming of owning a car like this.
