    I was just noticing the difference hubcaps make. What's your opinion as to which looks better. I realize this is a subjective inquiry, and appreciate your opinion. Click on photo to enlarge.

    Nice car either way buy I like it without them. It gives a competition look to it which matches your quarter window full of decals. If it was stock height, with black wheels and a clean window, I'd like the caps.

    Looks good either way but I'd go with caps on a car that clean.

    Jim,

    I'm for staying with the hubcaps...Seems more like you!!!!... Without the hubcaps, all of that red seems to take one's attention away from the rest of the car.

    ME..I'd only add some trim rings to go with those hubcaps.

    One more option.............Chrome spider caps.
     
  13. Caps, Trim Rings, and black wheels. My opinion is a little bias though. Nice car either way.

    Definitly with, but either way it would look a lot more bad ass with black wheels.

    If I ran that car without hubcaps I would paint the axle hub red to match the wheels and get some nice Chromed acorn lugnuts.

    Caps for sure, and I would also put trim rings on it. Personally, I still like red wheels.........there is a reason they are done so often.:)

    I think it looks good either way. Switch it up as the mood hits. I think it looks racier without the caps but I kind of lean that way.
