Hot Rods I've always been a steelies kinda guy but lately I have been thinking

Does SHE have any sayso on this? Hate to see YOU make a big mistake...……………...

 

Lol your right . Danny might be stepping over a line that he cannot step back from.

 

...I vote for light grey spoke Americans, it'd lighten it up some,...black spokes would be too dark..just my 2 cents..

 

Danny,
Have Moose Photoshop some different styles on your wagon. Hes unbelievable in how meticulous he is.
They will look like you've really changed them.

 

^^^^Now we're talking^^^

 

Photoshop^^^^^with torq-thrust mags....

 

Funny you would mention full hub caps Mark, I just happen to have a set of 4 Cadillac Sombreros that I bought probably 30 years ago. HRP

 

You guys are right, I haven't been given a green light and I'm just thinking out loud, but when we were building the car Brenda wanted blackwall tires but I talked her into the whitewalls but she told me at the time it was going to be my job to keep them clean and I have kept my end of the bargain.

At the time she also mentioned using the original Keystone Mags that we on my Falcon in the early 60's but they were 14" and with the upgrade disc brakes they wouldn't work. HRP

 

Me & you both, they would even improve the looks of a dump truck! HRP

 

I have at least two sets for each vehicle. I change them with my mood.

This doesn’t help, but I really like this truck. Now back to helping Danny.

 

Why don't you just try some nice smooth trim rings?

 

The fun of it is that if you do have a second set of wheels and tires you can swap them out reasonably quickly and it gets a different attitude I've seen a couple of rods here in the PNW that may have several sets of wheels in the garage depending on the event they go to and or the mood of the owner for that weekend. You see photos of one with steelies an bias tires when it shows up at Billetproof and then it has billet wheels and radials when it shows up over here at Vintiques.
I remember around 1966/67 a couple of guys I knew who were best friends both had 66 Chevelle SS 396's that were different colors. One had Cragers on his and the other had slots on his. Sometimes they swapped passenger side wheels and would mess with a few minds when cruising by in one direction or the other.

 

Really?
My post deleted?
Someone needs to ease up a bit.
If aluminum wheels offend so bad then just delete those images.
No wonder I gave up build threads...
Or at least have the decency to pm me about it like you moderators suggested I do.

 

I actually have a brand new set of Bob Drake trim rings still in the box that I purchased at the same time I bought the hub caps but liked the simple understated look at the time and knew once they were installed I would scratch the paint on the rims and there would be no going back. HRP

 

Of course TTs get my vote. Danny, are your, I mean Brenda's bolt patterns the same back and front?

 

HRP get The Moose on this. He can show you what you want to see at no cost!https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/members/themoose.69217/

 

I didn't know they were deleted, I really do like your deuces and pickup's

 

Same front and rear 5 on 4 1/2". HRP

 

What about the full stock style wheel covers. 52 Ford full covers might look nice also.

 

15 inch Lancers are available from King of Dice.....2 more cents...

 

Not too good of a photoshop but its freeeeeeeee
......hope you dont mind us borrowing your wheels @rusty rocket

 

I agree with the Torque Thrusts but they are my favorite wheel. I had chrome wheels on my mild custom T-Bird and ran Torque Thrusts part of the time, changes the character of the car. I also think it would look good with the Olds Fiestas .

 

I like the steelies. But IMHO, natural finish Halibrands would look great too.
