    I am finally going to be able to tow my racecar to a show this weekend and use my 1955 Chevy. I have had the Chevy 20-something years so I have a hard time deciding what look to go for.

    My question is should I run hub caps or run without caps? Without caps really helps the "sleeper" look that the car already has.

    The poll closes Friday since Pistons and Paint is on Saturday!!

    Caps. No caps looks like they were stolen! Haha..

    By the way, if I saw that setup for the first time while on the highway, I'd run off the road! Awesome!

    Caps on. Your car is so shiny that it looks unfinished without them.

    I say no caps.

    It gives your Chevy that mean "don't mess with me" look

    I like it with the caps, but that's such a classy setup that either way it looks cool. How could you go wrong?!

    Sweet!!! But no caps looks better. Gives it a meaner look.

    I'd put matching caps on the trailer too. Without caps matches the trailer right now. If you want a matching thing.

  19. You oughta try caps on the drivers side and no caps on the pass. side, just to make people who'd notice it crazier. But I'd vote for the no cap look. Peace,,,Moosie :)

    I would run the caps and also on the trailer. It such a polished set up that would just top it off.

    Caps on unless it has a killer motor and you want it to appear as the race car/gasser. I love your 55. It don't get no cheaper than that!:D Let me guess no radio, arm rests, cigarette lighter or pass sun visor. Very cool!!

    Black rims and blackwalls don't do the car any justice...

    I think the 55 looks more business without so thats my vote. If your goin for the clean stockish look do the caps. Its a win win really I dont dislike it either way.
