Feel free to put any color and style of wheel on it that you like.

In my area there is a custom distributor who makes reproduction 60's Radir wheels and retro whitewall drag slicks. His display vehicle is a mid-1930's Ford Woody. The canvas top is ripped, the wood is rotted and splintered. There is body cancer that you could throw a football through. The seats are torn with exposed springs.
But he keeps a set of vintage whitewalls and slicks on it, wrapped around a set of chromed Radir wheels. People flock around that car, admiring how cool it looks because of the rolling stock, ignoring it's overall deplorable condition.

Once again I'm quoting myself....how sad is that? I gotta get a life.
Anyway, I found a pic of the Ford Woody. It looks amazing with cool wheels and tires.

Reminds me a bit of the Rocket racing wheels from days gone by:

I saw a Grabber Blue 13-14 GT at the bank today. It had black wheels. I looked at and looked at it and tried to tell myself it looked good. It didn't it looked like total sh*t. All I could think of was it's like taking grandma's Buick for a spin and popping off the hub caps to make it look like Johnny Dirtbag NASCAR racer. I'm ready for the black wheel fad to be over. What's the deal, does black wheels make you an automotive bad *** or gangster?
Black wheels look like crap.

A flock of Canadian geese was flying overhead when he first fired up the motor. They got sucked down from the sky and into the intake, and their carcasses were never found.
True story.
