Hot Rods So, if you WERE going to run red wheels with white walls, what color would you paint the car?

I would go with the same red as the wheels, black, or Washington blue.

 

Or vise versa!

 

No whites, but I like the looks of red wheels on a blue car.

 

sticking the chicks off with a beat???

 

Think real hard.....let the color black enter your head.

 

Sorry for the side shot, but white looks pretty good on my buddy Jims 39 with red wheels....

 

My old 28

 

Said it a million times it cracks me up how the ham is so purest recently put red wheels are a no-no that's what they did back then

 

read this three times and have no idea what you mean.

 

Black

 

......Punctuation can be your friend.

 

Yes I was lazy and let my phone do the writing punctuation was bad but if that offends you I'm glad my point was they had to read Rams back then it was the fad so all the purest now who are upset about alternators and small block Chevy's should not be upset about red

 

OK I'm rereading what my phone wrote for you punctuation people I met red rims

 

I was referring to the guys who are tired of red rims. Sorry for the rant

 

Thinking back - many cars had red wheels but were covered up by full hub caps. You could see the red line between the hub cap and the white wall of the tire. I always thought this looked pretty cool.

 

I always liked a grey or medium brown with red wheels, particularly if they are shod with blackwall tires and trim rings. But there are a lot of really sharp cars that have been done with different colors and variations on the theme, too...hard to settle on just one!

 

it didn't offend me, i was just confused but that cleared it up

 

LOL, I thought ya'll had some sort of code worked out.
flynstone, don't worry about it. I could probably go and visit the person in less time than it takes me to text back an answer.

 

Dark pearl blue with red wires worked for me..............

And they do work on black too................

I do think you need to run hub caps and trim rings to tone down the red a little through........

 

The color you like.

 

wow! is that a new acquisition? that is perfect balance and blend of colors/chrome.

 

Not yellow! Changing this soon

To black

 

Early Ford Washington Blue is a great color for red wheels and red upholstery.

 

Man, I gotta say, that is HIDEOUS.

 

I actually don't think that looks bad. I might do a little pinstriping with a small amount of yellow to tie it all together and let it ride. Neat car!

 

A few more blue rods with red wheels and white walls I found on my IPad.

 

maybe a paler yellow or cream, but bright yellow?? Doesn't work for me, but hey, its all subjective.

 

red is good with anything.

 

Primer looks good too.

 

Yeah, Ron, but Maroon can only just be thought of as red...just sayin...
