    I like the '60 Deluxe as well. I'm guessing it'll look more in scale with the rest of the p***enger compartment.

    Depends on the overall direction/look of the truck. What are your plans for the rest of the interior/exterior?
     
  7. Tuck n roll blue and white if I go Metal Flake then the interior will be metalflake vinyl as well..If I go Candy blue than it will just be regular blue and white vinyl..I guess..the major factor would be the paint..I was thinking the flake wheel if I go flake paint and the Deluxe if I go Candy...?? Yes??

    Yeah, I think you've got it right. Just decide whether you think the truck would look better candy or flake and take it from there. What wheels are you gonna be runnin'? Astros or torquethrusts would go better with the flake, steelies or caps would go better with the candy.

    Do what you feel, I like the 60's wheel. Repair the cracks and paint it. If you don't like it switch back to the moon one. Both cool choices.

    Use the 60's deluxe. And pm me about how much you want for that moon wheel. It looks like it's a perfect match for my pickup.

    I lean toward the 60, especially if you don't have power steering.

    I sold the Impala wheel out of the '49 'cause it was just too big for me. As cool as it looked, I just couldn't get comfortable with it. I was going to go with a Moon 'flake wheel but found this cut down '55 Chevy wheel that I think fits the period of the car better. Yes, you want it to look good but it really needs to be comfortable too. If the '60 fits you good I'd go with that one.

    I would have to agree with Donzie. The bigger 60's deluxe whell might look better, but sometimes a smaller wheel is more comfortable, not hitting the knees and being able to see the gauges also comes into play though too...
