    IMG_7136.png Afternoon everyone

    Now i know this will bring out the wheel and tire gatekeepers but id like a few opinions from our community, Im thinking about running Cragar SS and 1 inch white walls on my 55’ Fairlane. Early 60’s style. Please let me know your thoughts, ive attached a pic of the old gal for reference…… thanks in advance

    opinions? I got opinions on everything. I don't like Cragars. more of an Astro Supreme guy with pinner whites...
    I'd put American 5 spokes on it with black walls.
     
  6. Cragers look best with skinny WWs

    Cragars can work on a cruiser w/pinner whites. I always thought Supremes were a better look. Paint em is always a good choice and way cheaper too.

    Your car looks good the way it is. Why make it look like EVERY other "hot rod" on the road with the most boring & over used wheel ever made?

    I think Cragars and thin line whitewalls can work but you need to have a bit more of a lowrider vibe to pull it off. I like what you've got, I would like to see how it looks with the darker green color on the wheels as well.
