Road wheels on a slab side

[The Captain]

I ran some road wheels for awhile and went back to the 14 magnums. Nothing like white walls.

 

[detmatt]

That car is stunning!

 

[polara71]

I prefer, not the C body wheel on the slabs

 

[The Captain]

I would prefer 15 magnums but dont feel like spending the money right now.

 

[The Captain]

That first pic was a photoshopped pic on the tires here is the real deal

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Magnums and thin ww tires.

Looks excellent.

 

[65sporty]

The road wheels look good but I prefer the Magnums, sharp car either way.

 

[jaysix]

Im running road wheels with whitewalls at the moment.

 

[Duncan]

I was going to say I prefer the Magnums, but after seeing jaysix' Chrysler with whitewalls, I find I actually like either one of them - as long as they have the whitewalls. Makes such a difference to the elegance of both the wheels and the car. JMHO

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Yup - white walls = that little bit of extra class.

 

[rapidtrans]

My observation watching this thread.
IMO all factory wheels look best with year correct width white walls on a "C".
After market wheels look better w/black wall or letters.

 

[tallhair]

Since we're using the term " preference "

I prefer road wheels and rally's with RWL and not thick white walls in virtually every instance ... even better if period repro RWL or period narrow redlines, goldlines, whitelines es or double or even triple "lines" of each

What I personally don't prefer is 80's kinda thick white walls on any road wheels or rallyes on any a/b/c/e or whatever ... seems to be incongruous to a sport wheel

I also don't care if someone likes what I don't prefer and puts in on their car. It's their car.

Yup - white walls = that little bit of extra class.

Depends on the look you are going for. White wall adds class , white letters add sport or agression

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Agreed! For me I like the agressive aspect of the chromie Magnum coupled with the white glove elegance of the narrow ww.

Iron fist in a velvet glove!

 

[The Captain]

As long as it's not a bias ply tire

Whats funny is that Chryco called both of those wheels "road wheels", Magnum 500 is a Ford term if I'm not mistaken. Both look good, but the tiny 14s that are available nowadays are too small for a C body. My brother had some 215/75r14s (?) on his 67 Coronet, they looked small on that thing too.
Travis..

 

[Duncan]

Yeah, I put the 'Magnum 500's on my Plymouth but made them 15" wheels instead of 14. Took me a while to get used to it but I do like the fuller wheel wells.

 

[cbarge]

On the Boab,I am doing 15 inch Magnum 500's. Still on the fence whether to mount the 2357015's black wall or show the one inch white wall. .

 

[cbarge]

I also have a good set of bias-ply's to mount on the correct deep dish steel rims required to fit the deluxe deep dish wheel; covers.They will be show rollers!!
