General Jumbo wheel ideas help

Yea going with the trim ring this one is 1950 up merc style. Need a 1948 smooth style trim ring to try. Darrell

 

Brian you could still buy them from me but the price is way up there now that I love then now. Nexted year I think the red spokes will be hanging on the wall alot.And thanks for the great comments. Darrell

 

Took the jack out of the picture.

 

Black rims with accent pin stripe, narrow white talls.

 

Everyone has their favorite, mine would be the chrome center with the blue rim and trim ring in the last picture of the first post.

 

Well I guess you win it will look like this for next year. Darrell

 

Well didn't make it out last year but nothing stopping me this year. Here they are ready for 2013.Darrell

 

Looks great! There will only be one in a thousand that will know what they are or appreciate the effort it took.

 

different tires and wheels add to the enjoyment--- like the light blue... i

 

Love 'em Darrell!!!

I hope to see them in person this summer.

Proartguy I have to thank you again you were a great help earlier thanks.And you are right not to many people will know what these wheel are.Darrell

The pictures don't so it but the wheels are a little darker they match the pin strip.

 

The wheels are the same blue as the pin strip.The pictures make them look body color.

 

I like them. I like them a lot!

 

If you like them alot in the pictures wait until you see them this summer.Thanks Darrell

 

New pictures from today I went for a ride so took some pics well I was out.Darrell

 

Stunning. What a unique and individual choice. I say by mid June you become irritated from explaining what they are to so many. That is unless you really like a lot of that. I promise not to ask when I see it

 

Maybe I should make a sign for the wheels explaining what they are.I might just change the story every time that will mess every one up.So far around town old guys know what they are young guys say they like the new white walls. It had whites last year they just know the wheels are different but don't know why yet.Everyone seems to like them.Darrell

 

When I saw the pics on the first page, I was not sold AT ALL on them. But these last pics look great on there.

 

I'm for changing the story, but that's that avatar of mine coming out

 

These old ads often show blackwall tires.



I started collectign these General Tire images, becuase my Diamond T was a General Tire service truck.

 

Here's another General Tire ad from the 30's.



Seems like the whitewall ads came came later.

 

I have this sigh the emblem on the sign matches the hub caps on my car.Sign is like 70" by 20" wide.Darrell

 

Supremes and narrow white wall would be better fit with this body color. Those wheels you are jugging are suited for neutral or dark earth tones. Chrome reverse and those WW W's would look early sixties to again go with this bright color.

 

This is a very cool look, glad to see your going with this look. Very cool looking with the baby blue paint job a very '50's look.

Yes, I like that crest. I posted more of my General Tire history research at http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8906983#post8906983

 

I like the new look. The body color and the wide whites tie it all together.

They look great!

I agree with the highlander on the questions. No regular people will know what
the wheels are and very few hot rodders will know them either. Thats kind of COOL!

 

Thank you for the great comments I think it looks very classy now. Darrell

 

Thank you the blue takes some people awhile to get use too but I love the car.Darrell

 

Looks great go ahead and change your Avatar. It is a keeper.

 

Forgot about avatar I will get right on that thanks Darrell
