    Ok HAMB’rs, thinking of changing up the look on the Starliner by switching wheels out. Wanting to go with black steelies and dog dish. Not overly concerned with correct year caps but more after which set will add a kooler aesthetic. I’m really digging the off white Thunderbird/Fairlane caps, as they would look good against the pale yellow body color but have posted two options for conjecture. Looking for positive input please. If I do the swap, the Halibrand’s might be for sale. Oh yeah, the Starliner is still for sale!

    I prefer your current Halibrand slots. Reminds me of the Starliner shown at the end of the movie “Hollywood Knights”. Your car, your choice on poverty caps. I do like you wanting to paint the steelies black and not body color. Extremely KOOL Ford you have !

    I really like the 64 dog dish caps, they've got a bit of a flipper style to them. The photoshop thread would be a good place to post this, you could see what they look like before committing. Also you could see what black vs. body color wheels too.

    Yeah I saw those pprather, for some reason they just don’t appeal to me. I like the driver quality look tho, they would go well with my survivor look.

    Man, I wouldn't change a thing, looks perfect to me. Those are my all time favorite car. My only other choice for wheels would be chrome reverse with no hubcaps
