Vintage Wheels

[Dan Pfister]

Hi Gang
Its been a while since I have checked in. I could use your help. We are changing the wheels on DRB #35 and going with Vintage Wheels. My wife likes the full polished look but I am leaning towards the painted back center. Looking for your thoughts on what would look better. Thanks!!

Here is a photo of the car now.

I think black or antique gold with a brightly polished rim/lip....

Nice looking Forty you have there...

Black = RACY

compare that to the natural one

I'm with Randy on this one. Leave them polished or go to the antique gold with polished rim/lip. IMO, the black wheels against the dark blue would loose something.

How about this for example

That works!

Well, it's what I'm doing, more or less. FWIW. Dark gray painted spiders, polished rims.

Tom,

How on earth do you get into the rear wheels with a hammer to get the tri wings done up or more importantly undone ?
