So far so good! The Green/Black set up looks great!  Are you gonna paint the wheels to match the body or go with a polished aluminum look or chrome?

I dunno.....the wheels look a little out of place for the paint scheme....bronze knock off salt flats maybe 🤔 

These have knock offs, but I’m still not sure.  I may print some US Mags bonneville rims and see how it looks.🤔

Thanks man!

The wheels will definitely get  some shine.  If I stick with these, I’m thinking Aclad II polished aluminum.  If I go with bonneville rims, I might go with polished aluminum outer rim, and maybe steel colored faces.

Bonneville style!!! (I have to get me some Bonneville caps for a couple builds I have been thinking on.)

These are the ones I’m thinking about.  Just need to print another set to fit the tires I have.

There are a few styles that I had on the brain. I like these, particularly the pie crust slicks. A Blue line would look super sharp.

Where did you find bonneville rims with knock offs?  That’s what I’d really like to put on the ‘32.😎

That looks like a Mean Machine Models file.  I have that one, and I’ll print a set when I get a chance.  I think we might have a winner!👍

The color selection is great in my old man eyes.  Close to a Model A color combo. 

Cant wait to see the rim choice, always a hard choice for me.

Wheels are printed!  I like these much better.  I’m thinking flat or dark aluminum faces with polished aluminum rims and knock offs.

Thanks to Topher for pointing me in the right direction.👍
