    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 *****en. 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.
