    All depends on the style and construction of the car....I wouldn't think of putting them on a Deuce hi-boy but on other more modern cars they look great.....

    A lot of things that look good on a 30's or 40's designed car would look way out of proportion on a Vette, Camaro, Mustang, or similar....and vice versa...

    Ever see a Caddy Escalade with the stock wheels? They look like conastoga(sp) wagon wheels. Same with some Bmeers. Still say they are sucking looking an ANY car
