Chrome reverse wheels are cl***ic..big fan.
They also look great with spyder caps, depends on the car of course.
Don't care for the look with baby moons, on any car.

 

A real chrome reverse wheel needs to have the hub cap nibs AND the cooling slots. The new chromies are missing the cooling slots. I talked to a wheel manufacturer at Goodguys last summer (don't remember the company), and he said that they make them that way because people don't want to clean brake dust off of their wheels. WAHHHHH!

 

Try finding 5X5 1/2 bolt patterns, without cheap *** chrome on em!

 

I like 'em naked, sans spiders, baby moons, etc, but with cooling slots. Pull 'em outa the box, paint your drums/spindles, bolt 'em on, done. I can see the do-dads for a custom themed ride though.

 

Chrome reverse wheels are timeless and while popular once more they never go out of style with lots of variations for subtle change. Best bang for the buck. Use to find them used pretty reasonable, not so anymore. Smoothies OK but not as nice in my opinion and multi pattern looks ugly.

 

My 55 ford convertible is getting them in the spring when I get new tires,I am tired of the aluminum wheels and going for a early 60s look this time.
