    If the rear end is the issue, start with that. Then center the offset. You will be way happier and it will open up a ton of options.

    My vote is for chrome steelies with spider caps.

    Cream colored wheels with three body color pinstripes, or body color wheels with cream pinstripes?

    Is it a hot version of hot rod? Mags or aluminum slots, the 60s vibe. Is it more a custom? OEM style chrome (NEVER SMOOTHIES:eek:) and a white wall. I prefer a wider whitewall or even the early 60s wide whites that were around 2". If it's a street rod (I didn't really say that) then the painted steelies seem to be the wheel dujour. My pick? Aluminum slots with the appropriate tire. Big fan of the 60s style. Oh yeah, another kool truck. Make mine off white;)
