Hot Rods Wheel change

Well I was up early and was bored, so I wanted to see what the opinion was on the wheel change. The old wheels are 18x5.5" steel wheels from rally America, and 16x4" ford on the front. Both front and rear have dirt track tires from Coker. The current wheels are a pair of 18" ford wires I widened to 5.5", and the front are stock 17" ford wires. Using 7.00-18 and 4.50-17.

Here is the before and after.

Both look very cool. The steelies have the racy, slat flat look to them and the wires have that old timely look to them. I like them both a lot but lean towards the wires cuz I like the original, big diameter wires. Ultimately its your call.

like the wires,maybe its the small caps

 

Either set look awesome on that car.

This is kinda like asking do like the right boobie better, or the left boobie. In the end it doesn't matter 'cause they're both boobies and boobies are good...

That said - I'm digging the spokers.

 

both look great... i think the change i would do [to either wheel] is color. maybe camel color like the top?

 

I like the wires.
Are the tires on the wire wheels also Firestones from Coker?
What's the O.D. of the 4.50-17's ?

 

front tires on the wires.

did you tell your dad you stole his wheels/tires off his rpu?

 

I like the wires better too!
Very Nice!!!!

 

he hasn't noticed a thing.

he likes his green roadster so much the roadster pickup is like a red headed step child.

I'll be the dissenter and say the steelies look better on that particular roadster. Maybe I'd say different if the wires were a different color.

 

Danny, I don't know what it is.....but everything you guys do just looks..sinister

 

that's fine. the car really drives better with the dirt track tires.

thanks. glad you like our work.

The one I like the best is the one I am drooling over at the time. Two excellent choices making a different attitude as stated before. Change them with your mood if you can harbor both sets. Love this roadster. ~sololobo~

 

Great car! It must be horrible having such a dilema...

 

Both look killer! Like the wires a lot, though.

 

I don't like black wheels.

 

It's fanfukintastic either way.

 

Yep, I'm not a fan of wheels painted the same color as the body. That car needs something to break up all that black.

 

I personally like the steelies.....
Good luck,

 

Wire wheels = prewar hot rod.

Steelies = postwar hot rod.

You can't go wrong either way.

 

X3, or 4, or whatever its up to now. Maroon would work.

 

finally a guy that gets what this car is about, without me having to explain it.

thanks to all for the nice comments.

Steelies on one side, wires on the other. No wait. either way it's your car. You could switch 'em up every other week.
