Smoothie Baby Moon wheels and whitewall tires

I would certainly hope so, but don't count on it. You are in Florida ya know!

 

TRI-FIVE chevy??? Might as well run some wire spokes with raised white letter wide ovals!!!

 

I have always wondered if bead blasting the chrome off and painting the wheels would look decent (on a pre 60 car) and using the chrome center cap. I think that is what Fuel Pump did... But all chrome solids/smoothies with wide whites is a bad look IMHO. Especially on a late model...

 

That funny shit!

Or he could mail the bong & surf board
to us. (Keep the van)

 

Maybe like this? These wheels even though they look o.k. I'm going to switch to the OE's soon.

 

I havem but Im going OEM.They were on the truck when I got it and funny thing is the original owner was from florida- what the hell?

 

I don't know where Florida came up. And I'm pretty sure this will be unique in any state. I haven't said the rest of the modifications to the van

To each thy own...

 

Now I understand, you're talking about the hupcap. At first it sounded like ya'll were talking about the Baby Moon hubcap and the Moon disks. I like the hubcap. I used them in the late 60's and early 70s and I use them now. Back then there wasn't at bling, bling dealer on every corner. Mags and wires were too expensive or too hard to come by so, the Baby Moon hubcap allowed guys to make the wheels look good without having to spend big bucks. I still like a thin white wall, black steels, and the Baby Moon hubcap. But, that's on a hot rod, not mommies mini van.

 

I agree...to each his own.

 

Each day I wonder less and less why NJ gets a bad rap.

 

I hear ya brother, some people just don't give a fuck. I buy my Rustlers at Walmart, they're like a buck cheaper there! But I must admit, they don't hold a 6" cuff worth a shit! Then again, I'm 6'5 so where am I gonna find a 42" inseam anyway?
Anybody know if Rustler makes black t-shirts with screaming skulls on em, I want to complete my ensemble, I just don't want to spend $30 on one.

Smoothies look good on some cars, just like Kelsey Hayes wires only look good on some cars, but that's a mini van man, accept it and stop throwing money at it. Paint the wheels black, put some thin whites on it and go surf Jersey.

 

Someday......... Someday..........

 

Good comeback...I mean it!

 

Here's a set with thin whites.......

 

i am running american chrome smoothies with shannon cones, on my 55 pontiac.
i put full moon disks on my daily driver (2003 cavalier). the screw on ones, made of spun aluminum. i didn't drill the rims to screw them on...i got some junk trim rings, drilled those, and rivited the moon disks to the rings. i can just take them off and on like a hubcap if i need to put air in the tires. it's pretty funny, because alot of people don't know what moon disks even are. i always get asked what kind of car it is (even tho it has a chrome cavalier badge on the lower edge of the trunk lid). i tell them that it's a gm hybrid test car, and that it runs on helium.

 

With a 60's panel paint job and a surfboard on the top? Hmmmm

I was thinking about taking some flex thin wood and riveting it to the panels to make it appear as a woodie-type repro. But I think I'm going to give a run at this first, and in the future I might go with the mock-up woodie.

 

The wood would work or maybe fill the rear side windows for more of a van look. Back in the day, people would take a brand new '58 Chevy, dump the front in the weeds, strip a little chrome, sew up some tuck and roll; do the mild custom thing. The Geezers back then would coment about how that crazy beatnick "Ruined that brand new car!" (One of those geezers was my uncle Tom.) I never listened to Uncle Tom.
I say go for it! Trick out grandma's SUV or late model Caddy or anything else that trips your trigger. It all started with some poor kids trying to make a gow job out of a POS Model T.
The roots of gow should be allowed to spread, push up some hardened concrete, crack a foundation or two!
