Awesome truck. Moons with the beauty rings!!!

 

MOONS all the way

 

Moons, beauty rings and wide whites.

Thanks for all the feedback, polished aluminum wheels it is then... nah, just kidding, I was leaning towards the moons and about 90% of everyone else that I've asked (outside of here) have agreed on them as well.

The pinstripe idea is interesting as well.

I like the moons with the beauty rings. They look good on your black truck with the black wheels. I like Havi's idea the best, keep them all.

 

Moons by far!
The others are cool but just don't seem to flow with the truck......IMO

 

Damn.... I can't even con my self a set of baby moons... LOL... Your truck looks great the way it sits! Damn...

 

Well, now that you've made up your mind to stay with the moons, I'd like to recommend that you keep the moons. And despite what nearly everyone else who has responded may think, I like the look of the moons better. Old school is cool.

 

Hey Wally,
I'll take a slightly different approach to your dilemma. They are both nice looking but they say something different - it's all about where you are headed with the truck. The old style moons give off a strong "refreshed farm truck" "nice cruiser" vibe - old school yes but also kind of 1950's nostalgia. The other choice vibes "aggressive hot rod" - "quartermile track star". Sort of depends where you are going with your build.

I'm too late but I will throw my vote in for the moons as well. I think it is just more classy.
Beautiful truck with any wheels.

 

Another vote for the moons.

 

That's true and that was part of the dilemma. I'm want the truck to be more of a hot rod than a classic truck. The black paint and the finished interior lean in that direction but aesthetically, the moons still pull that look off better than these particular aluminum wheels. The moons are actually GM rally wheels with trim rings (they came off of a 1969 camarro) and the previous owner kept them silver (GM oem wheel color) but he changed the center caps to a spinner style covers with Ford emblems attached (see pic below). I bought the moon centers and painted the wheels black so they replicate 1950's wheels but they give it a '50's "hotrod" look with the trim rings and the deeper wheels (especially in the rear). The more i look at them the better they follow the lines of the truck than the generic look these aluminum wheels give it. Not to mention now they don't look like GM rally wheels bolted to an early '50's Ford truck.

If you Just Have To Have Spokes:

 

An advantage to the steel wheels, take them off, blast them, recoat, and wha-la...fresh set of wheels again!

edit: oops..typing too slow again!

 

I like them better black with the moon caps... What happen to the spinners?
