    It's your car, but I'd stick with the "chromies".

    The chrome for sure, the black wheels look way too "cop car."

    i like spider rings personally...with chrome cones
     
  6. I like some form of "shiney" for the wheels.

    Don't think black does it any favors.

    I like the chrome reverse, too, and might suggest skinny whitewalls to go with 'em.
     
  8. Exactly!

    Your car can be both musclecar or HAMB friendly.
    For the HAMB just add skinny whites Cornell 1000 215/75-15 $45 ea. at PepBoys and lower it a few inches.
    For the musclecar look black rims with dog dish hub caps or baby moons no whitewalls, but redline tires maybe. Height for that look is good.
    Personally I would get supreme 5-spokes and skinny whites. But that's just me.

    I like the chrome reverse just the way they are, maybe just lower it a tad or just try a different stagger on the tires, I think it looks pretty cool as is though.

    I like the chrome wheels. How would the chromies look with small stock caps???

    I think a little lowering and some skinny whites on those chrome wheels would look great!!

    Here's Road Apple's (Coby) car for inspiration....

    Leave the wheels on it and drop it with a slight rake .

    I think the chrome look good but the car needs a rake, or you need a set of redline or thin white walls. but I think a little rake would help.. (drop the front an inch or two). I believe when running chrome reverse the front tires need to be slightly smaller then the rears and the car should be on a rake (this is with blackwall tires)

    I love the rocker trim, I'd leave it. Like I said before, the car looks great, just needs a little change in the stance.
