    Skirts, wear 'em if ya got 'em! Just make sure when you paint them to do it in body color. Not blue, to match the top.

    Trim rings no skirts, like a beautiful girl with her top off. Put the caps n skirts on and it covers up her beauty underneath. Just sayin.

    Cool ride ! Really like the caps and "no skirts" look. The caps will help add some gloss/gleam to the great paint job and help set-it-off visually.

    Well for what it's worth I like the caps and skirts but really who the hell cares what I like or anyone else, it's your car, do what YOU like. I hate these threads but cool car.

    Caps and skirts make it look custom, my pick, and black rims and no skirts give a hot rod feel. Go with what ever look you like best.
    It would be easy to switch back and forth if you wanted to suit your mood.

    I am doing just that these days, full caps right now with the ww's , but have another set of rims that will have blackwalls in the future.
    I change my mind like my socks too.
     
  25. On the fence, Your car looks good either way. But what I really like is the two piece side trim, makes the car look longer.

    Run both looks as it suits you, a win/win situation. Personally full caps, skirts, with the back dropped a bit more for a more speedboat profile would be killer.

    I like the trim rings and no skirts, but I think it might also look good with caps and no skirts.
     
  30. Why not try chrome plastic hub caps from Walmart - only $19:eek:

    Seriously though, skirts and caps for me, nice ride.....man.
