Re: Need input on wheel color and ideas

Here's a quick Photoshop on the rear wheel, white with a center cap but no trim ring (only pic I could easily find). I'm kind of liking this... I would be likely using a baby moon cap versus a stocker type.

grimace's colour coded wheels work, probably because it is a dark colour, like the white, trim rings and baby moons would look really nice

Re: Need input on wheel color and ideas

I have just ordered my rubber, my wheels are late 70's, early 80's 4x4 15x8's, they originally came white with a red pin strip or two, and 4x4 center caps. I had to machine out the center holes as they would not fit over my hubs. I will be finishing them up with beauty rings, and chrome center caps. Will post up the finished product when done.

Re: Need input on wheel color and ideas

Just to throw out another idea, the 67 that was with me at goodguys has body colored wheels with rings & centers on white walls. It really looks good too. He painted the wheels then scuffed them back up.

i like that, & "ultrahd4me's" example above too...and like you said, steel wheels are easily repaintable...not to mention, you can also play around with adding/removing various trim rings & center caps to see what you like best
