Projects trim rings on my wires or no on my hot rod ?

have this set of what i was told were mcleans that i powdercoated and am running on my roadster pickup , whide whites for tires but unsure if i'll run those tires for long , question is i'm wanting to change out the plain jane centers for some 32 or 34 caps if i go the 34s i will paint the v8 logo red and am toying with the idea of running ribbed trim rings !they are 15 inch wheels ,will it be too much ? opinions wanted , thanks brock

 

I like them, seperates the white walls from the rim.-MIKE

 

kinda what i was thinking , could ude somethin to break it up a little

 

Personally,I prefer no trim rings

I've always liked the look of ribbed trim rings on wires. Nice pickup, like the color.

 

I vote No rings....

 

Trim rings, it looks like something is missing without them.

 

You already have a lot of high contrast between the red, white, and blue. I'd say adding more visual eye-catchers isn't necessary.

 

While I think HRP's sedan looks great without 'em but I think I'd put 'em on your pickup.

 

Blackwall bias ply (or whitewall bias if you prefer) and no trim rings.

 

. . . and tri-power.

 

I like trim rings on wheels as a rule, but on wire wheels you sometimes have enough of a contrast without them. The cars pictured above with and without all look great so I don't think you would be wrong either way. It all depends on what you like.

Do what we do, lightly stick one on a wheel so you don't scratch it, stand back and make your decision from there. Nice rpu by the way, I have been following your build and it is *****in'. And I personally like the ww tires.

ribbed trim rings!

 

My thoughts exactly!

I like the simple look.

By the way...Beautiful Truck!!!

 

Nice Truck !!
I think it would still look great with them, but JMHO.
Good luck and let us know what you do!
Cheers.....

 

I vote No White Walls

 

I say yes!!! BTW... Car is sic!!!!

 

Your option, I like 'em.

 

I kinda like the ribbed rings and I think I'd put 'em on the inside as well. Just a subtle added touch of sparkle.

 

I ran ribbed rings on mine... a little more chrome never hurt anybody...

 

Ribbed is the way to go.

 

Trim rings and whitewalls. Damn, I love your truck!!!!! That would be my dream ride.

I think the truck looks great as it sits.

It's your choice (of course), but I don't necessarily think it would be better with them, just different.

 

I'm kind of partial to no trim rings , but add a pinstripe . But what the hell do I know ,, I'm a pinstriper !

 

i like !

 

Looks good with trim rings.

 

no trim rings please.

 

Oh my, love that red mounted wheel with that stripe.
Great suggestion!!
Cheers..

 

.....Going to put back the wire wheels on my 35 Ford truck this spring....looking to put the trim rings on also.....not really sure yet ,,,after seeing this thread

 

i like them, ribbed ones look a little better to me.
