Right now I'd say the flat red goes with it best.

If bobj49F2 reads this he might be able to help you out. He's pretty good at manipulating pics

Flat red for now change them when its bright red. On the other hand my 56 is bright red and I painted my wheels and the grill a Harley steel gray metallic. I also have trim rings and the stainless hub caps. It looks fine and loots of people comment me on the color scheme.

So i went with flat red. Its the same color I painted the firewall, and was originally gonna do the whole truck in. This really adds to the look of the truck!

Well, I like it. But I was one of the guys recommending it, so I’d better like it! It does look good on that truck as you have it now. Those wheels and tires will last a long time, I expect.

wheels are steel solids from coker. I think they are the same thing most of the wheel places are selling as solid wheels. Rears are 15x10 with a 5inch back space and fronts are 15x7 with a 4.25 inch back space. rear tires are BF goodrich silvertown radials in 285 70 15. They have the same tread pattern as radial T/As, but in much bigger sizes. Fronts are Radial T/As in 215 70 15
