    "Racing discs".....do you mean, brake discs? Or are you asking about wheels?

    Phew!! I was afraid you were asking about painting brake "discs".
    You might want to re-title the heading....like "Moon Discs". And, yes, I have seen them painted, anodized and even powdercoated. Can't honestly say that I have ever seen them with any kind of center emblem, but probably someone has done that.

    That combo will look like crap on anything. Since you asked.....You can't go wrong with a plain spun Moon disc.

    I do like the look of big wheels on f100s and have seen 24" smoothies that were white and it looked great... i also thought about painting the dics black with www with white or chrome centers again

    Do whatever makes you happy with the end product. But, be ready to get flamed if you go too far. (smiling) Remember, build it for YOU.
    Although, I agree it would look like donkey poop. (now laughing)

    Sounds like a mis-match of stuff. What look are you going for? 24" inch wheels on an F100? You might be asking the wrong forum for help. If you want a traditional look, you're in the right place. If you want the donk look, you may not get anywhere here. 24's look good on semis.

    Well, that answers that question. Good luck! You may not have noticed while on the HAMB, but there's a reason you don't see anything like that here. If you're into it great, but I bet you'd have a much better reception, and get a lot more information elsewhere, like here: http://forums.truckinweb.com/index.html

    I'd choose a Prius over those big wheel hunks-o-poo you posted. At least those have a purpose.

    ...am I missing something with the art deco bowtie and suicide door thing? I have seen similar stuff done tastefully and traditionally with non rubberband tires. Maybe if it was scaled back a bit it would look less pimp my ride
