I'm waffling between a silver or slightly darker color vs a medium to med/dark silver-charcoal. I am pretty sure the 10 spoke wheels will come in the future, but for now will stick with the 5 spoke old school look until I save up enough for the new wheels/tires.

These are my newest renderings from Carter Hickman. I have two each in silver and a darker color, and each color has both sets of wheels. Which do you like? Or do they all suck??!!! :lol:

I want to add that working with Carter has been awesome. I am constantly asking for changes and he just keeps on delivering.

Cool but what happened to granny tan? I think of thos two the darker with the 10 spokes look the best. I did sure like the tan though.

you know, you're not the first to say that. The car has to be re-painted so if I'm going to make a color change now is the time. Initially this was my first choice for a color combo, the silver/gray. I have carbon fiber valve covers and cf accents in the interior so I thought it would blend well. Then I decided an old school look was cool, plus I've never sprayed a solid color before so that's what I did. After painting/color sanding/buffing I wasn't as thrilled with the color as I thought I would be, so it made me re-consider my original choices.

I'm not a fan of the 18"+ wheels. With that said. I think #4 looks the best. I think the five spoke is a classic look that works best with old Iron. I also like the darker "charcoal/gray" I would like to see #4 with 17's or 18's on the back and 16's on the front.

the Vintage wheels are 17's, the 10 spokes aren't available in that size so they're 18's. I would prefer 17's as I have new tires in that size, but a swap to 10 spokes won't allow that.

I already have the 17" 5 spokes, they're brand new. I don't think a 16" will clear my front brakes (13" Baers)

OK. They looked bigger. LOL
I think the 10 spoke is a more modern design that looks good on "some" newer (80's on up) body styles. I don't think they fit in with the "older" classic lines of the 60's-70's cars. JMHO!!

#3 - but when done dont do the actual photoshoot in Inglewood or compton or wherever that is...lol

I think #3 is killer - like the darker color and dig the wheel choice. 5 spoke may be the classic look and all but its also the look that everyone and their momma has. That dont strike me as your style given the other aspects of this here vehicle.

although these look like photos they are renderings. In reality the wheels don't look that tall.

Also have another idea to put into your head. How about two/tone.

#3 dammit!

I mean, c'mon...you know thats what you want to do...I know it....just that these guys dont know it. Its ok, I promise...they will forgive you...

Why not the red calipers on #3? Might look good considering the center cap color on the wheels. Maybe a blacked out grill?

#3 .

The wheels in #2 and #4 (which you already have) are now probably the most popular wheel for old muscle besides Crager S/S wheels. Roll the wheels you have now, and when you get the dough go for the 10-spokes. Your car will look fantastic going the #3 picture route. Man, that just looks sweet.

#3 - gray-center torq-thrust style wheels are getting too common. Silver is also getting very popular. The Charcoal and 10-spokes will make the car stand out from the crowd, even with the hood shut.

[The_Wheel1]

two-tone definitely! I always liked dark center wheels with silver/grey cars, just looks mean.
I think anyway you go will look good.

Good luck, gary
