    9291AB7F-3FCC-481F-A10D-9FC8EE0B73AC.jpeg I’ve been thinking about changing my ‘35 wheel color to black. They’re Straw now. Thanks to @themoose for the excellent Photoshop work. What do you guys think?

    Looks nice as they are now too but if you're gonna repaint them I vote black as the first choice and tan as the second. :)

    Thanks to everyone for your input. The Straw wheels have been on it since the ‘70s and maybe earlier. Photoshop sure helps with decisions like this.

    I like the red as well, although a little too matchy -matchy for me.

    I see we all are in agreement again! :cool:
    I have to say tan for a couple of reasons;
    1. they match the top
    2. no one picked that one yet.

  10. Whatever color you choose, those will look better with some beauty rings.

    I do have a nice set of old ribbed ones for it. maybe I'll slap those on and start over. While I'm at it, I'll pull those cheap repo caps and put on some old ford ones that I have.

    Tough choice between the straw and the black. I'm leaning more towards the straw. It matches the top and sure does make the spokes pop!

    It’s from the ‘70s, probably custom made, because it was extra tall. I disassembled it, chopped it 6 inches, and did my own custom work on it.
