Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I've always been one to favor the look of deep dish wheels and wide tires, but I'm really liking these:
(probably a lot less expensive too)

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I think it looks cool! Leave it on for awhile, if you get tired of it, then take it off.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I vote for the teal also. leave the trim rings off at first and see what it looks like and if you think there is to much green put them back on. Or have a pinstriper put a duel white pinstripe on the wheels to tie them in.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
This may be a stupid question but I don't know that I've ever had hubcaps on my vehicles. Will these rims accept hub caps? If so what kind? I don't know if they are original, my spare is the old split rim type. When I bought the truck it had 3 out of 4 beauty rings so I removed them & have since painted my wheels when I sprayed the truck.
