    This Stude is so bad 'really like this shade of blue.

    If it were mine and you were building it with my money, I would of made the rear wheels wider to give it the maximum amount of back space

    Found the answer! I must have been working too many hours cause this thing of beauty was at this year's GNRS and built by Squeeg's Kustoms. Not sure how I missed seeing it before.

    Fronts are 16s wrapped in 4.50/4.75-16 Firestones (known thanks to the perfectly placed tire label in the build pic!)
    Assuming for now that the rears are 15s inside piecuts. Screenshot_20221122-001527_Chrome.jpg

    They look fantastic! Can I ask how expensive is it to have them make wheels to your specs?

    I have looked high and low for the pictures of the first gasser I ever rode in. I was 12 (1962) it was a 55 Chevy that belonged to the son of a friend of my dad's. I went with him to pick up some new wheels for it. We went to Johnny's Chip & Peel er Speed & Chrome was the cheapest place to get chrome wheels in SoCal. They'd get junkyard wheels and send them down to Mexico to be reversed/widened/chromed. It was always a crap shoot if they were true. In the 70s they became a big VW parts supplier.

    Seems black and chrome are a popular choice. Mine.
