Customs Wheel ideas for 60 Parkwood Wagon

Hi Guys,

I am looking to get s few opinions on wheels for a 60 Parkwood Wagon. I am kinda doing a beach cruiser theme but want it to look slick.

Current ideas revolve about wide white and chrome steel wheels or 20ish Hildebrant look alikes.

 

Please don't put wide whites on that car....you will destroy it. Chromed reversed with blackwalls works well for me. Even maybe a baby moon cap in the center.

 

"Hildebrant"...??? Surely you must mean Halibrand...???

R-

 

The wheels on it are what it needs! Keep it as is.

 

X2^^^

 

Yep sorry... Spell checker

 

If you insist on replacing what's on there, consider something mid-'60's Bellflower-ish...
... like thin (1") whitewalls on Supremes, or as-cast Americans, or chrome reversed steelies.

 

I'll give you 5 bucks to leave it alone...

Good idea, like the mags & black walls.

 

A deep chrome reverse gets my vote.

 

Make it ten!

 

just put some surfing decals in rear side windows & a surfboard coming out of back window and be done.

 

I popped in to suggest cast 5 spokes....turns out you have the perfect (IMO) wheels on it already.

 

Please don't,your profile says you live in Charlotte,so I ***ume that's North Carolina,not to close to the ocean and you will come off looking like a Hodad! HRP

 

I would go with a set of stock 14 inch, black rims with small dog dish hub caps. You don't need special wheels because the car looks great as is.

 

looks great as it is!

 

LOL I thought he meant 20 wheels. And I couldn't figure out how he was going to pull that off. Duh'Oh

Halibrand smoothies or small windows, Astros with pinners chrome revers with baby moons. Even painted steel wheels with chrome bits would work.

If I would go 20s I would go 22s.

 

I like the look but think chrome wheels with narrow whites would also look good. Run both on my 60 Bird but like the 5 spokes best.

 

what he said.

 

In my humble opinion, reversed Supremes or OEM style chrome reverse with pinners look about perfect. Looks like you've already got the Supremes, time for some skinny whites.

 

The supremes look nice although they would be better with some whitewalls with the thin stripe on them. Chrome steel wheels would look good on the car too, with a white or blackwall tires but that makes it more hot rod than beach cruiser. A set of 20" wheels would be great if you want to look like you bring your TV to the pawn shop twice a month.

 

Hey Dangthang!
For those of us that really like how your Car is looking right now.
How about posting up some more Pics of her?
I love the Long Roofs!

 

Leave it as it is. Its nice to have another set of shoes tho!!!!!!

 

Looks good as is. But whoever said Supremes & pin whites nailed it.

 

Astro Supremes with skinny whites. Here is my old 60 El Camino with that exact combo, and you can see how it looks on similar car to your wagon, best pic to show the wheels, don't have one direct from side:

 

I would leave it the way it is.I took the wide white walls off my 56 buick wagon and olds station wagon.I think its a cleaner look.Bruce.

 

I like the narrow white walls better. Bruce.

 

Leave it be!
