    SORRY GROUCHO, I know you asked for one or the other. BUT....slots on the rear , spokes up front???? keep both sets then you can mix it up a bit?

    Yep, if it's (really) good looks you are after for a Model A, the two options you picked are way off. Them would look good on a Camaro or sumpthin'...
    Here's another suggestion...............

    #2 tires on #1 wheels
     
  7. ... I know you said it's an "either/or" deal, but I agree with 63dan63^^

    One vote for number one.
     
  9. Torque-thrust D's are timeless and since the car has a 60's look they would be my choice. I think a set of American S200's (daisy mags) with grey centers would look good also, but then these two wheels are my all time favorites.
     
  10. First pic, the second look a touch "Billit" one might say...
     
  11. They're NOT D's. But, thanks for playing
    Billet? Really? I hope you're the only "one" that might say. OK, your vote don't count:rolleyes:

    THAT wheel on this particular "A"? THAT wheel on a Drag inspired "A"?

  12. Well, this is good so far. It means I'll be able to get a small fortune for my ever so popular Americans;)

    The 5 spokes with the tires that are on the Kmart wheels
     
  14. Yeah, it should've been a poll. Except two things. 1-I don't know how. 2-I expected about 90% vote for the Americans anyway. That was a no-brainer. Around here, nearly every fucking Muscle car has Rallys, and nearly everything else has Americans. This thread confirms that the Americans need to GO

    I have ETs on my 40. They are from the 60s, they don't make them any more. I plan on using them on my 29 tudor.

  17. Option 2 all the way...60's style drag car? slots and pie crust slicks.
    90's style street rod? Americans and radials.

    Go with the 2nd option, or I will buy them !!!
     
  25. It'll take a bit of getting used to, since I've been looking at the Americans for 4 weeks. But, I'm feelin it!

    I can understand the rears, but those little teeny ones in front, below the beautiful flares of the full fenders make it look like you put on some of those "temporary spares". But hey, it's your car and you are the only one who really needs to like it. Go for it.
     
  27. So, you don't "get" the "Drag" thing? I'm gonna go get the other 2 from my buddy. Go ahead and discuss. BTW, how old are you that you've never seen that look?
     
  28. Survey says....option #1
