    Put 15 in. steelie wheels on. bought new center caps and got rings use. I'm not sure about color of wheels. They're silver now. black might look better

  2. i think black would look a little better
     
  3. I lean toward black myself. A lot of the fellas are going to say red. I do think that if you put rings and caps on it that red is a good choice. Open like they are gloss black and cream pinstipes would be the bomb.

    I like black wheels and caps but no rings.

    Nice car by the way.

    Paint the top, put the belt line stainless on and paint wheels to match OR just do what YOU want.

    I say paint them gloss black and then invest in some 6.70 whitewalls IMO

    an emerald green would look snazzy in a glossy finish with a spider cap

    silver roof would make them look right, otherwise i'd do black as well. if you want to stay silver, think about some whitewalls--the rings and spiders don't pop as much as they should on a silver wheel/blackwall tire.

    I think, I'm painting the car semi-gloss Midnight blue and the wheels glossy Midnight blue. I can't make up my mind on choppin the top or leave it.

    I think chops are cool, but its kind of nice every once in a while to see one with a stock roof, just becaus theres so many that are chopped..

    Either way, chopped or not, it NEEDS the stainless around the windshield in my opinion. Cars just seem to look unfinished without them, even if the cars fully painted and everything.

    Painted silver steel wheels, always look like someone is trying to get the Chrome wheel look..but it always fails (cheapens the whole look, of the wheel, and the car). Any color other than silver, would be better.
