Looking for a tradition look. Leave wheels red or cream

Picture didn t post

 

Anything but red!

 

And the car is what color?

 

Yellow

 

cream on yellow

 

cream on yellow

 

***ty pink, very traditonal.

 

You get the idea!

 

Like RED!

 

Car is DP 40 Green with a touch of silver

 

Cream and green look sick together.

 

so when did red wheels become traditonal? I look at a lot of old pictures and I don't see red wheels .when people look back 50 years at us and they see 24'' wheels on a donk . will they think thats how we did it? sorry (I hate red wheels) they look good on very few cars IMO.

 

Your car, your call..........but you did ask, so I say Cream !!
Would help though to see pic of car ...
Good luck...

 

I like either color....

Here's my ford.

 

Looks like cream is a winner so far Keep your opinions coming I value all of them.

Thanks

 

Cream. Red and green are gonna look like Christmas. Or how about gold.

 

dark olive green

 

I have RED on both of my cars but I would go with the cream on a green vehicle ...

 

I say go with the CREAM...........

 

I'd go with cream myself

 

Black. Then cream.

 

left side cream, right side red...see if anybody notices



what do I win?

 

An autographed (autograph simulated) picture (or a photcopy) of Caddzilla with different wheels on each side cause as BFG said, you can't see both sides at the same time.

 

black.

 

If that's the choice red or cream I chose................ Black! What kinda car is this? A pic would really help here!

Many cars "back in the day" ran red wheels; it was a common color. One example (just flipping through some old magazines of mine) is Bob McCoy's famous flamed '40 Ford 2 dr sedan, featured in Hot Rod magazine in 1957 and making the cover of the Hot Rod Annual in 1958. McCoy's '40 was BLACK with RED wheels! Can you believe it? Maybe you should write him a letter and tell him red wheels are not traditional!

Just flipped through the book "The Birth of Hotrodding: The Story of the Dry Lakes Era." Guess what, lots of red wheels! Red wheels on red cars, red wheels on black cars, red wheels on white cars, red wheels on green cars, red wheels on beige cars... Oh well, I guess all those early hot rodders in the '40s and '50s didn't get the memo from you stating that red wheels were all wrong.

 

Of red or cream...I blindly say cream. But that's only if it is blackwall tires, bias-ply of course. I would go red but would prefer it more of a "brick" color over a "fire engine" red.

If a whitewall is going to be used I would go the same color green or a black.

Is this the Vicky or Roadster? Upload the pics to your album and post them here from there.
