    After my 55 gets a Y block I am wanting to change the wheels for a different look,what ever I do I am not going to put skirts on it so I need to see how others with 55 or 56s look. I have the original dog dish caps or a set of aftermarket 57 lancers and considering whitewalls too.

    My vote....whitewalls and Lancers Convertibles are cl***y and should have full wheel covers not dog dish....thats for lookin "bad-***"

    Leave it alone, it looks great the way it is.

    I kind of want to give it a late 50s to early 60s look.

    Leave it alone or the full caps with wide whites IMHO. Blackwalls, dog dish caps like said above don't go with cl***y convertibles. Nice car BTW.

    Raised in the front a little with the lancers and whitewalls is what is bouncing around in my head right now.
