    personaly i would go with cragars and a 2 way knock off or a set of tru classics with a spider cap in the middle i actually have a set of old school crossed lace zeniths im thinking of running on my wildcat im kinda not likeing the whole every body must run supremes on 60's just like the whole red rim fat white look anyways thats my opinion

    mice and gods...mice for the astros, gods for wires, but NOT 30 spoke wires, those suck almost as much as the dread chrome smoothy...

    I voted for spokes cause I m a lowrider at heart , but a more door run astros It fits better . 4 doors and spokes dont have the same effect, bur astros work any time.

    Damn-it looks so GOOD slammed:D
    Monster-which wires?
    Speaking of Lowrider, I just found out my Bro-in-law is on the current music lineup for the Lowrider Summer Heatwave Tour. Hoping to get the hookup on show passes:D Here's an idea-what if Los Boulevardos showed up? Do you think we'd get the same reception the first traditional rodders got at the street rod shows?

    Astros unless you are looking for a crossover into the lowrider look.

    i'm not sure which wires, i just know the 30 spokes look weird, but 100 spokes are too many. you could get all old school on it and run 13'' cragars, but you might not be gangster enough for that :D (i actually think they're way too small, but that's how you lay frame without chassis mods)


    edit-i definitely prefer the exposed lug nut type, check out the buick wire at paulsen.

    hey, jimmy vaughn runs 'em on the most fabulous riv ever, they must be cool!

    add'l edit- rasputin is the chicago trend setter! you're already out front in texas wit dat lace, step up to the big time!

    man, the new album(RH/E) makes me want to dance around like a stoned hippie chick at a dead show, in a good way. fuckin killer rhythm. and the cowbell, who thought a cowbell could rock so hard? :D i know i'm kinda strange. i followed them to a few shows through the midwest last fall, great road trip.
