Paint and body are done but....

Need some ideas for rims and tires

 

oops heres a pic of the car

 

looks like you need some real Bling wheels to make it show up, *err stand out*

 

No bling we need old skool

 

Ok ,nice job , Good looking car, love the skirts

 

Yeah I was trying to get that post in before you got the pic up but you were faster

 

The choice of wheels and tires is the most personal of all choices next to paint color and upholstery.
Get thee hence to a wheel and tire store and see what YOU like!

 

Throw a set of Lancers on it and call it a day.

 

and take down your christmas lights! it's freakin May already!
ha ha ha.....

 

Good one Lux blue ill start with the christmas tree and then the lights.

 

That chev is sick. How about some deep lipped astros.

 

you want old style I would do black or red rims with wide bias ply whites.

 

i was thinking the same thing...

 

My thoughts exactly.

chrome reversed wheels, spider caps, medium size whitewalls, maybe 1½" wide, or just go with wheels you have same color as body and add spiders and trim rings and your tires on it now

 

I agree with throwing a set of lancers on it.



1 bars would look killer on that car as well.

 

How about a set of steel wheels, painted body color. Fog in the outside of the rim in a darker blue. Put on those 'new' mini trim rings, that Rally America has, with chrome bullet lug nuts, and a big bullet in the center, giving a "spider" look.
Wide or pin whites would work with these.

 

I dont like flying hubcaps.

 

thats a good idea

 

I think either Chrome reverse with spider caps (which is what I'm most likely putting on my '56 Chevy wagon) or maybe something a little different??? Obviously with wide whites. I saw them on a '54 Chevy and they looked SICK! By the way, did you bag it? How much was the setup and is it dependable? I'm debating going bags or not...

 

I agree with Dandingo, Chromies and spider caps would look sweet. Maybe some Olds Flippers over a red rim with a wider whitewall.

 

i saw chrome reverse with spider caps or astros. with some pinner whites. hell even steelies/caps and www would look bad ***. Its a tri 5 not to much you can do wrong as long as you stay trad.

 

Not sure about the wheels but that is one ***y looking car.

 

Lux nailed it...

 

Another vote for Lancers (I'm a '56 owner, too) and the WW is wide enough.

 

that is really nice, is that your daily driver?

 

i dont usually care for 56's but this one really did it for me, id go with the steel wheels painted body color, spider caps and trim rings, with wide whites

 

Paint the rims a blue to set of the car then add spider caps and maybe even beuaty rings... What ever the car looks freaking killer man

 

56 lancers.

 

Can't go wrong with chrome reverse/smoothies.
