    redlines will give it a more performance look I think. No to wide whites but Ok with thin.

    8 lug wheels in 1960 originally were silver, I think that would look better on your car:

    If a person is concerned about being 'factory correct', wide whites were standard fare on new cars from the factory through 1961, they switched to narrow whites in 1962. However, this is a hot rod so you don't have to follow the rules. ;)

    Another vote for thin whites.
     
  6. At least thinner WW than this.
    Although dual or triple pinner would look bitchen. But these are just way too wide.

    Compare that to the royal pontiac race car above and the Ww is about 30-50% wider. Those too could be narrower but they look like they belong.
