I'm trying to find a rear wheel that would look good with these front wheels (the one on the right). They're going on my '27t roadster and I'm trying to keep this car "traditionally minded" so somewhat modern is ok as long as it fits the idea of a traditional car, look good and yet functional but not over the top. So with that in mind, what would you choose to use with these wheels?
I got nothin' It's so different, that I just can't think of what to use. It has a very vague similarity to the old Foresight Ventures Drag Mag, but it just won't work because the bead edges are way too different.
So... you are going for the "spoked wheel" look? Best I can think of is just to match the fronts with the same brand and style wheel. But I'd use taller, narrower rims and loose the low profile tires. Gary
I wish it was that simple, those wheels are "space saver" spares from mid 80's gm f body's. I plan on replacing the tires. I'm just trying to find something that will contrast well with these. Kinda like some g***er's wheels.
There appears to be nothing peculiar about space-saver wheels. I have done them manually and I once persueded a tire shop to do one. But..... while no one has given me a reasonable explanation as to why, I have found that tire shops generally won't mount or dismount space-saver tires/wheels. Another possibility, if you don't like these wheels you might consider narrowing ones you do like.
