    Ugly Wheels on old Rides

    This is the kind of cars I typicaly build (59-66 Ford)... This may be the uglyest one I have looked at. What do you think of old cars with some Bling wheels? I usaully run hub caps, or Torque-Thrust.

    Anything over 20" is FUGLY and the wheels on that car look awful on anything I can think of.

    The wheels themselves are ugly, but a different chrome 18"-20" wheel would probably look decent on that car. First things first though, yank that 6 cyl. and put in a real motor

    i have seen a few cars like that down in new ken.
    brothers love to stick those kinds of rims on total pieces of sh*t and always the wheels look like they are worth more than the whole car.
    saw a POS rusty 80's impala box sedan with those kind of wheels that was my fav.

    I think if it is tastefully done they look good. The style of the wheel has to fit the car. That one does not, but I think these huge ones do fit this car. It is one of my favorites!

    Yeah those wheels were a little much. They were just a cheap design...thats the kind of 22's that look big and are chrome..but dont really cost "all that much". I should know i used to sell one like that lol. But as the "Official Brotha" of this thread i hereby approve big wheels on cars that shouldnt have them lol. It started in the south and int he midwest yearrrrrrrrs ago but its spread. Just like the Donk, Box and bubble thing.
