    OK so here goes. I need some advice. I'm planing to go to steel wheels and need help with color choices. I was originally going to do red but it is getting really overdone. I have seen cars with green that i liked. Also thinking about a beige maybe. Here is a pick of the car. (sorry its dirty its been sitting for way too long)Please post pics if you have them.

    Thanks.

    I like the gloss black idea. You dont think it is too much with a black car?

    Choose two or three colors you like and then pick one. I have seen a lime green wheel on a primered car with baby moons and it looked great. May want to figure in baby moons and some beauty rings. It all makes for a good combination.

    I'm really liking the green. There is a 52 on here with green wheels and flames that I love.

    I like the green, but not really on this car as it is. Gloss black on a non-gloss black car isn't quite right to me either. How about Satin/semi-flat black with chrome trim rings?
     
  15. I went with the traditional model A color,,Apple Green,,HRP

    I know it's cliche' and overdone, but i love the krylon red with '71 Nova baby moons on my '46. I thought about repainting my wheels Kawasaki green or a bright blue, but got talked out of it by about 15 different people who said the red just "works" on my truck.
