Hot Rods Disc or No Disc

I went to the Conroe today I was ask about my wheels what I was gonna do I found the old 16" moons what do you think keep or not !!

 

I like 'em.

 

I think the moon discs are perfect for your coupe. They fit the hemi, the louvered deck lid, the whole vibe you have going.

 

Yup!! You got a home run in the making. Only thing missing is a little ageing on the discs to match the car. Might try washing them with a little ajax to dull them up a little.

Looks great,the whole thing.

 

Thanks for the input it looks like it will wear its new shoes I also found a new steering wheel. I wanted a fiftys style wheel but they were to big so I found this its 15" where a stock is 17" just a little bling bling for the old coupe

 

heh...the original size 17" 55 chevy steering wheel would be more appropriate than that new "mini" wheel. It's out of place on a traditional rod (just like those new rear wheels you have, which look so much better with the discs covering them up). But a banjo steering wheel would be the way to go

 

use em! Looks good.

 

Moons look good on anything, look great on yours!

 

I collected a lot of steering wheels that looked good but when you put them in the center of the dash my knuckles hit the door and the rear wheels where for mock up only.

 

I say they are perfect, but I may be biased,

 

looks kool either way, ive always been partial to bare steelies.

 

......Looks good on that coupe.....got a stlye of its own...

 

The disks look great on that car and fit right in with the whole picture. Sometimes the wheel decoration looks like a guy is trying too hard but you nailed it this time.

 

I'm a ****er for Moon discs... about half of what I have owned over the years have worn them proudly!

 

They look great on the Coupe, really suit the style. Over here, once upon a time, "everyone" had them as they were a) vintage styled ("traditional" hadn't been invented then) and more importantly b) cheap! Then we all got sophisticated and bought mags, fancy wheels and stuff and they dropped out of favour. That's a good thing as far as I'm concerned, and I picked up a pair of 16" ones last summer - just got to find another pair to go with them (most over here are 14" and 15").

 

Love em, leave em.

 

What about a 4 spoke bell style steering wheel ?
