Both look pretty cool....if the BEFORE is Chrome Wheels with hubcaps; I'm wondering if the Hubcaps would fit the AFTER Red Wheels for yet another change-of-pace look.

Awesome!!!!

The only thing that could enhance it would be a seet of chrome spiders to cover the lug nuts (they are getting hard to find)

conrats on the new shoes! (man I love wide whites)

The hub caps will fit, I just wasnt sure yet what I was going to do, I am thinking about some baby moons with beauty rings, I just didnt want to put the hub caps on and scratch up the powder coating on the wheels. What do you think.

Thanks Brian, Yes it was at world of wheels. They invited me to show it for the Autorama 1962 display which was a whole room set up like the 1962 world of wheels. it was pretty cool it was like an outdoor show but indoors. There were some vintage indy cars, alot of customs, alot of stocks, and some Traditional and rat rods. It was a good time.

I'd think the hubcaps would look great with the wide whites and red wheels...

That looks great.

I am just curious on the dimensions on the rims and tires, I have ordered a set of gennie with 15x8, 4" backspace in the front and 3,75" backspace in the rear, (JAG IRS)

Best regards
