The wheels and how they are placed in the wheel opening or for a fenderless hot rod, against the body, is 75% of the whole appearance of a car. Give or take a few percent. No matter what you do to a car, small or big changes, it all comes down to this simple rule. Running non-estetic wheels on a car makes them look real bad. A 1950's style hot rod with radials = NO A new Mustang with bias = NO Wheel = tire and rim
