reversed will likely poke out wheel well.

This is on a boattail right?
Hmm....:idea2:
Myself, I have thought about body color steelies and dog dish caps on my '70 Riv to be completely different.
So I vote steelies.

x2... If you are going for a deep dish look ask around to see whats a good offset/ back spacing combo or get the wheelrite tool:TU:

Good advice guys.Deep dish absolutely!!!!! Bullet caps Goin' on my Riv. I'm gonna go for what you might put on mid-fifties show car. I love the look of wide whites and bullet center cap. Might have to contact Coker to see if I can get a custom size.
I've been having this image of what it will come out in the end after paint. Some of my friends think the concept is crazy, but I know better!!!:)

If I could get a wheel and tire combo at a decent price for 17's or 18's, I would go bigger, but Stock size is fine too(especially after a 3 in drop in front and 1 in the rear:Brow: ).

Dallas is the home of cheap prices for rim and tire combos... ask some guys your area that come to Dallas. 17's or 18's with tires go for under 1000 everyday.... not used on craigslist which is way cheaper:beer
