Nice! Tell us more... Been thinking about the same type wheels for my '55. Anyone got good ieas about what height and width will fit under a stock truck? I see wildly different prices at LMC Truck and JEGs. Does twice the price make the wheel that much better?

Thanks for the comments guys! I got these wheels are from summit racing. They are made by "US wheel". The front wheels are 15 x 6 and the rear wheels are 15 x 8 with 2.5 back spacing. Tires are 215/70/15 on front and 275/60/15 on back.

Gee, not boring to me at all. I'm trying to learn every thing I can from you guys while I plan the purchase and resto-strategy of my first F-1 so all of this stuff is not only fun but educational.

looks great!

Nothing wrong with chrome reverse rims and baby moons! This is a classic setup...I may be showing my age but these wheels/caps are timeless beauties. Here is a pic of a buddy of mine's 56...gloss black with a badass stance and chrome reverse/baby moons. It don't get no better than that!

That should motivate Reed to get his truck back on the road!!!

Those wheels have a nice look!
