    I have been checking out this site for quite some time and digging the nice rides many of you have. Since I am new to HAMB I will be up front with you and state here I need your input. I have a 57 Chevy two-door hardtop - Sierra Gold/Adobe beige. It has various mods and upgrades over the past 29 years, but now time for some new wheels. the current set up is 49 Chevy dog dish caps and narrow trim rings on 15's. After checking out all the pictures on this site of various Watson paint jobs and the cool hubcaps, I am really leaning in that direction. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the old school hubcaps that would look cool on a 57 Chevy? I had 57 Cad caps on it about ten years ago and got razzed by all my friends. I don't know - I thought they looked pretty cool on the car. It seems like guys with 57's only go for mags and I am not a mag fan nor do they look good on my car. So any suggestions is much appreciated. You all have a great day now.

    Welcome to the HAMB. You might get a better response to your question on the Regular Forum instead of the Introduction Forum. My 2-cent opinion (and that's twice what it's worth ;-) would be to use the wheels/caps you like no matter how many 57's you see running around with mags.
