Wheel Color
Hey guys,
I finally got me a set of steel wheels. They had good enough tires on them to give me an idea of whether I wanted wider whites or skinnier, but I'm trying to decide which color to go with before I get my new tires mounted up. I kind of like the white, since it would match the front of the truck. But, I think I will paint them a rust color first and then bright white over that color and scuff them up to look a little rusty. Really, the way they are now is perfect, but all four do not match. What are your guys' thoughts on color? A buddy told me I should do teal since the tail gate has some teal in the patina, but I'm not digging that since the rest of the truck doesn't have any teal in it. |

Re: Wheel Color
You buddy is right about the teal. I think is should be a darker teal though. I have this color truck and will probably paint my wheels the way they are on this shirt. https://shop.spreadshirt.com/284078/...tee-A106714137

Re: Wheel Color
Hubaps are defined by inner diameter,. Therfore yours must be 10 3/16".
What is the paint code on your trim plate?

Re: Wheel Color
What about shining up the caps and painting the wheels gloss black. The white wall will stand out and compliment the front end.

Re: Wheel Color
I personally have always liked black or silver for steelies. But that's just me.
I have never liked red. Here is a thread that may help you in your decision: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=688081
