    Now -- the ole 56 looks a little different NOW from what this picture shows -- but it is the only one I can find right now.

    The car has been lowered in front and rear about 2 1/2 to 3 inches -- and the long tube headers are no longer hanging down and are not visable under the car any longer.

    I want to change the look even more -- and was thinking that some new wheels and tires would probably do the trick.

    I'm hoping that you guys can offer some good suggestions....

    "If" I were to go steel wheels and wide whites -- what color should the wheels be -- and how wide should the ww's be ?

    Any hubcap suggestions ?

    Thanks in advance guys

    Any pictures would certainly be appreciate also !

    You have a nice looking 56. If you dont want to go to a different style 5 spoke, you might consider simple chrome wheels.

    Thanks for your input -- I'll add that to my little list of possibilities

    Simple wheel and tire changes can CHANGE the entire look of the car -- so I want to consider all options

    Thanks again

    Chrome steelies w/3" ww always look good.But if they are painted I'd also go with the black.

    keep those wheels, add skinny whitewalls, drop it a little more front and back, call it done. Nice car.
