bobthehobbyguy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think the black suits the car the best. If it was going to be glossy then the chrome steelies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne swayze Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm not familiar with the "east coast" style. Your sedan is much lower than any "old school" than what I've seen before. But back to the question asked, I kinda like the chrome reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I never give recommendations on wheels as they are just too personal. But as far as East Coast Rod goes, people seem to call an unchopped hot rod that. Not sure why as I live and grew up in New England and never noticed that until the "label makers" made up that tag long after the days of the Hot Rod. I have a non-chopped '32 on the workbench that many tell me to chop and I have been known to call it an East Coast Rod! And .. I really like the look of your build so far .. no matter what wheels you decide on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lghtngyello03 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) See a lot of people running red/brick red/maroon colored steelies with the wide whites on that color of primed rat rods...maybe throw some baby moons on them?

Foxer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 After saying I don't recommend wheels and looking back ay your pics, I have to say BLACK does look best with the rest of your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkmucker Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I back the black wheels. No baby moons or anything like that, just black steelies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Steelies and you should paint em the color of the body something different, but cool and bmf the outer edge of the steelies to look like beauty rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Black. Definitely black. It draws your eyes to the Centerpoint of the rod, which is where you want the attention. The chromed wheels divert your attention from left to right and not on the center of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Traditional, red, maroon, dark green, Kelly green, Robin's Egg blue, Washington blue, gray, then black, or two color combo's. Black would often be the last color of choice because many Ford wheels came from the factory in black. You are replicating an era where things were customized with contrasting and complimenting paint colors. Wheel colors often were a color that complimented the color of the bodywork, as would any wheel striping or pinstriping of the body. There are a lot more highlight colors than Black, white and Red that everyone is so enamored with these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
