    Yes, the chromies/www's on your Chevy would look best.
    But given the two choices you offered, the spokes look best.

  19. Well you said to choose from ONLY those two pictures.:D
     
  20. Seriously? They're just sitting next to the wheels/tires that are on the car for the picture

    They're both good, but I'm gonna go with the minority here, Groucho. I kinda like the slots. I know the five-spokes are real popular these days...but personally, I always thought that slots had a bit more of a performance vibe to them. They obviously aren't Halibrands, but I still like 'em. I like the small slots. They're stamped steel, correct? Used to see those years ago. Haven't seen any for a long time...especially that shiny. I like the contrast with the paint. I'm a sucker for chrome. I like five-spokes, but always liked the chrome ones better...never was crazy about the muted gray finish. You've got a tough-lookin' model A there...and I think the slots look "tough".

    P.S. - I like the tires that are on the slots better too.

    P.P.S. - Can you keep them both, and change 'em up sometimes?
