Re: Maiden Voyage
The black wheels look nice I think you made a good choice. How far did you go on the Maiden Voyage?

Re: Maiden Voyage
You may or may not agree with this suggestion, but I think (if it were mine) I'd slap some trim rings on it. The hot rod beauty rings would look good if that truck was sitting in my driveway with my name on the title. Of course, it's your truck but it's what I'd do. With all that black expanse of wheel and tire, it needs just touch more shiny stuff to keep the caps from shrinking.
But, your truck looks good.

Re: Maiden Voyage
Nice!
I have to agree with the beauty rings, but that is my taste. I think these trucks are great and the different ways that people rebuild them is awsome

Re: Maiden Voyage
The truck looks super the way it is, but I'm thinkin' Shawno has something in mentioning the trim rings. The black wheels just work with the Patina...

It's cool looking and it's done the way you wanted it!
I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: Maiden Voyage
Great job Justin! I'd probably snap the trim rings on and take a look, you could take em back off if you don't like them. Killer truck either way!
