    Yes the 40 dose have them
    But that car was built as a surprise gift to my dad to replace the one my grandmother sold when he went to Korea. (its very close to the same car)
    That being said…I do like them on that car because it also has Moon discs (for some reason that combo works for me.)
    As for WWW on a fenderless roadster
    To me when your fenderless your saying im a compe***ion car / racer im no nonsense im not here to be a cruiser.
    The fancy car tires are a contradiction to that statement

    Out of the two given choices, I like the ww actually. I think it pulls the paint scheme into the overall look.

    why is it everything has polished wheels now days? the black wheels and caps go with that style paint job.

    Because there is so much white on the car already, the black walls are a clear choice.

    Steelies with rings and caps and blackwalls. Polished wheels bring it toooooo much into the street rod era

    Depends on if you want cl***ic or more modern look. You can never go wrong with wide whites.

    Thats awesome that you are able to do that!

    I would say the black with the polished wheels, it matches your paint job better as a streetrod. If your car was all red I would go with the white walls and the black wheels for the more traditional look.
