Customs wheel and tire ideas for my 56 Nomad hmm?

I'm a fan of slots.

 

WTF! where did you post them? ok you been drinking right!

 

I have AR's on my 55.

 

I kinda like this combination.

 

Five spoke Americans ,,,Cl***ic !!

 

Ok going to the garage and mount up the wheel and tire purchase ! I will get some pictures up tonite, when I get back home !

 

this was mine

 

americans look just right on em

 

you know rally,s look good too but theyve got to be the right combination

 

Tru Spokes
Cragar SS's
Torq Thrusts
Ralleyes with Caps
Slot Mags
Radirs
American Salt Flats (I like when they're oversized say 18's on all four corners)
Steelies with your choice of wheel cover..
or pretty much any 5 spoke mag..

Black steelies with chrome acorn nuts look so sick....

But I'm guessing from your post you must have found somethin'...

 

here is what I went with 15 X 7 American Racing Torque Thrust "D" . My local Les Scwab gave a sweet deal( purchased Cragar /Unique Supreme for my Merc) My buddy had less 2000 miles on Dean Alpha's running a 205/75-15 frt and 225/75-115 rears. Sorry my pics aren't great very tight in the garage.

 

good choice rob!

 

I like it.

 

Original American Racing Torq Thrust "T-70" wheels I.M.H.O. and....... I'm selling a nice pair on ebay right now very rare made one year only.

 

Thanks guys, I looked at your wheels. Very cool not by bolt pattern,very interesting

 

nomads rule!
the wheels look good!

why is it everyone always wants to keep their daisies?
ive sold a few cars & kept the daisies (200-S's) myself.

 

This had daisies(200-s) on it . I liked them

 

I like the wheels!
I would get some caps and flip the tires around for black walls though..........but thats just my .02

 

Great choice, they look good.

 

I like what you picked. I've run Tru-Spokes, Red steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps and wide whites, and these vintage ETs (from about 1970) on my Nomad.

 

have the caps, ran out of time to put them on. I like the white wall was going with 60's look. Early bird swap here we come !

 

Nice wheels but turn those tires around!

 

i've got some cragars on my 55 sedan, which is almost like saying stock for 55's at one point. just installed some black steel rims in the rear on my 55 hardtop. the hardtop is just a basic rattle bomb with steel rims in the rear, tilt front fibergl*** front clip. i like the look of the hardtop better with the steel rims in the rear. the sedan is cool with the cl***ic cragars, but i'm aiming more for a down and dirty ugly rust bucket for the hardtop, which it is, but with all rebuilt running gear and suspension. 4 speed with a built 350 and gears to wind it up. your basic look like **** run like a beast, i wouldn't say it's a sleeper but it looks like a stripped down piece from the outside and interior. on a nomad...get what cl***ic styling you like, they all look good on trifives. can't beat the cl***ics.

 

Where did you get those mini trim rings?

 

You might take a look a ET's website. Very period and not overplayed the way American
Torq Thrusts are. My favorie year of Nomad, BTW.

 

I like the white's!!

 

That's the set up that I'm currently running on my Apache. Not sure how it'd look on a Nomad, but works for me!

 

Somebody at the LSRU swap was selling them, but I'm pretty sure Ralley America has them. Gary

 

I like the "as cast" look on the 5 spokes. The polished ones are overdone. I like the small white wall too.
