Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I just put on 18" Nissan Titan steelies with 225-60-18's on them. I painted them black and added the beauty rings - I'm hoping to get the hubcaps installed this week, the wheels are drilled and tapped for the clips.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
That is a terrific combo. Please tell us what wheels you have. Do you have drum or disc brakes?

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
Updated pic, I think I am going to leave the Impala hubcaps off and go with a smaller 6-lug center cap from a newer chevy truck... Opinions welcomed!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Are you going to leave them black. It looks like you have two different styles going on. Street truck wheels and classic truck paint. I don't really like the Impala hubcaps but I would have to see the new style center caps you are thinking of. Maybe you could just paint the hubs the same color as the weals and get some fancy lug nuts or a baby moon style cap to make them look more old school.

Thanks for the feedback! I like the fancy lugnut idea, I'll start looking into that and possibly something that will cover up just the hub. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
If you are worried about to much teal, white might look nice but I think the teal would balance it out.

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.
