Thread: Butt fugly wheels

I think it's natural to go with things that appeal to your own personal nostalgia. Being a High Schooler in the late 70's, slot mags big rear raised white letter TA Radials were all the rage, with the rear end jacked up a bit. Front tires and wheels were all a bit smaller version of what was on the rear. My 48 truck with have this theme going for it if it ever gets completed!
I have to agree with Bob that the tire/wheel has to match the era of the vehicle too, and in most cases the average vintage enthusiast will say, "yep that just doesn't flow" yet the younger shops are pushing some new trends, that younger generations are growing up to, and to them it's, "wagon wheels and rubberbands...awesome"
