Thread: '56 Ford F100 build

So, I've decided that instead of buying nice wheels I am going to paint the ones I have on there and just order new shiny trim rings. One of the rear wheels still has a trim ring on it, LOL! I wish all of them were there, I'd just polish 'em up. So, the question is, what color should I paint the wheels? I'm thinking either black or red with the polished stainless trim rings. Eventually I'd like to add the original style hubcaps as well. I'd have to order new ones of those too though.

I think I'd go with dark red on the wheels. You can get the trim rings & reproduction hubcaps from Bob Drake 1956 Hubcaps & Beauty Rings Looks like he has them on sale right now.
