    So you guys got me thinking. A few people suggested Chrome reverse and baby moons and a few suggested Lancers.

    Should I be looking more towards one of these looks? Keep the opinions coming. I really like both just not sure which looks best.

  2. My $.02 It all comes down to money. If the kid that got the Buick had a rich dad, his dad would probably have sprung for any wheel or cap the kid wanted. At that time, the kid would NEVER have added older Caddy caps. Not COOL! If the old man didn't spring, the kid probably wouldn't have much cash so in my opinion he would have sold the orig caps, got some BLACK spray paint and a set of Strauss store Baby moons, and then try to find a girl to help him use the back seat!
    Just my two cents.
     
  3. Of the two choices given, I prefer the Caddy Caps, but honestly, is there any better option than this?

    Well, if you're gonna broaden our choices...

    Chrome reverse with chrome center caps and lugnuts are cooler than chrome reverse with baby moons.

    Lancers are cooler than anything and look good on everything!

    I got a 1956 Buick too, thanks for saving me time trying to photoshop this stuff. So far I really just like the stock caps. How about just trim rings. Some cars can really pull it off but the color combo needs to work.

    I think at this point the chrome wheels is in the lead. I really like the spider cap look but at $180 for the set it is a hard pill to swallow. The baby moons are cl***ic and a lot cheaper. The pinner whites I have on there so far will have to stay on for a while. The tires are brand new and on the car when I got it.

    I have 3" lowered spring from Jamco all the way around.

    They all look good. Personally i'd stay clear of repop lancers, i've got some hanging on the wall, the ones i have look cheap and **** quality IMO.Thats why they are on the wall. The OE ones look just fine, maybe grab a spare cap if you have one and try a bullet in it. Great looking car BTW!!

    I don't like either, better send me the car. I'll pay you for both sets of hub caps.
