RE: Old wheels back on
Soaring, got be the white walls for me or maybe double red bands for the tires, I must admit i don't like the 65 hubcaps, especially as i have 3 now!!! I think the 66 hubcaps better IMO 65's look a little cheap I know you like to keep it real but I am getting 66 hubcaps mainly as there were cheap on flea bay $75 for 4 pick them up at weekend in the UK. I looked at alloys but in the end i think the money can be better spent. My un hub-capped stang is being to grow on me though!!!!

Yeah, I would say we are definitely the minority on this board.

RE: Old wheels back on
Regarding the Mag 500's.......Back 10 years ago when I bought them, there just wasn't much of a choice for a 14" wheel. Today, there are a few more to choose from, but not many that are decent looking. However, I spent almost a grand for the 4, so I'm pretty much stuck with them. As far as rims though, they are not obtrusive, and they don't scream CHROME! We all have our preferences, and you guys that have the 17 and up inch Chrome wheels like yours, but I have the philosophy that if the wheels distract too much from the car, then they are not the right wheels for that car.

mojoe, know what you mean i personally don't like your rims, I would powder coat the spokes gun metal or black, there is a fake twister special in the netherlands with the spokes painted the same orange of the car with black look well nice.

I have a hard time visualizing how that would look nice. Sounds like it would look pimp.

Wheels should Compliment the vehicle, not be the first thing people see on it.. Something the 22" spinner group has yet to realize, but who wants to notice an 83 Caprice in lime green and tan top with stickers adorning strange places? We need a puke smiley.
Glen the pic of yeller gives me an itchy photohop finger... I think I will go outside and itch it on the F150.. and scratch it later tonight..
