They look nice. Are you going to use that deeper red color on the rest of the truck.

Looks good! Care to share your wheel and tire size combo, and where you got the wheels from?

I got the wheels from Summit Racing. Wheel Vintiques "Smoothie" ! The center cap are also from the same company. I have 15x6 in the front and 15 x 8 in the rear.... Got a 275 60 15 in the rear with a 225 in the front. Everything fits well with my mustang II front end...

Yes they really give both trucks a good look... I think your truck motivated me to get mine out of the boxes...
