I would go old school... steelies with baby moons... red steelies....

never been a fan of those all chrome or whatever rims, like you have on it.... on any car... but that is MY opinion, it's your car.... but, ya did ask!<LOL>

I like the picture on the bottom. Don't know what kind of wheels they are but the bigger tires look better on Street Rods. Elastic band tires look good on newer cars, not street rods...

Shane, this is looking great. I love the color, but you always seem to make the right choice when it comes to that. As to the wheels......I love the five spoke!

I'd have to agree with everyone else, those red steelies deffinatly make a difference. I do like the chrome ones I just think the red ones look better.

I think it looks 'right' with the Centerlines OR the red steel wheels. Both looks REALLY work for this build, depending on what kind of flavor you're after. Since it's a shop-truck, it would depend on whether you were after the 'traditional' clientele or the more contemporary semi-billet guys.

Turned out great. Gotta say the red wheels tied in the chassis and lettering nicely. That and red steelies with white walls (or without) look good on everything!

Well executed. I think if there wasn't any red in the paint work then maybe the chrome would of been the way to go but those red steelies was the right touch. Nice build
