New wheels

This winter i laid my hands on a set of new Firestone 6.00 16 on Ford original rims for 100$ ;-). According to the specialist tireman the tires was junk and could never be balanced.
My problem was that they where white walls. So i had mý old school tireman turn them with the wite side in, and balance them a lot of weights yes but it could be done (i will paint the weight's black later on)

This is what i started with.

 

This is after change for the better i think

 

Are you looking for opinions?

 

All whitewalls should be mounted like this.

At least i can have it both ways now, its always good with a change.

 

Ok! So let the opinons come, Anyone???

 

i wont lie. i like the green and white walls better. but thats my style. the black on black looks good, but not as good, in my opinion.

I dont like it at all. I think the ww tires should of stayed...

 

I do like blackwalls and black wheels, but with caps and rings...with big 'n' littles too.

Your car has a 50's flair to it. Keep the 15's and www's.

How much can the spring compress before the shackle hits the backing plate?






I alway liked black walls better.
Especially with black wheels.

 

I like the black walls better. I second the all business look.

 

However, it reminds me of the "chicken race" cars in Rebel W/o a Cause a little bit.

 

The Spring never hits the backingplate or rubb on the tires, since i have a panhard bar, that is original equipment since 41.
Without it i would be in trouble ;-)

I have approximatly two inches of travel before i hit the bumpstop, wich seldome happens in the rear, in the front i have one and a half inch of travel (Posie spring), that one i hit more often. But it works well on paved roads.

 

I like how the 16's fill up the wheel wells and I'm partial to a blackwall tire myself. Too bad the weights aren't on the inside of the wheel with the whitewalls, though.

 

I like both but the blackwalls look like you're ready to run
some moonshine & i know you guys like moonshine...

 

Since you asked, I've never been a fan of the crazy colored wheels, I think it takes too much attention away from the body of the car.
I LOVE black steelies, but as others have said, they tend to look better with some kind of contrasting dress up item.

 

Black and steel, maybe some chrome rings if that's your style.

 

i liked the whites better ,maybe with the black wheels www put outwards..

 

if you dont want the wide whites,i can give you my set of icky old blackwalls and you can gimme your wide whites
