Great idea! After you choose the right wheels, then you can choose the left wheels! A different look, coming or going! I should have thought of that.Last edited by fitzwilly; 05-05-2011 at 07:00 AM.

I never thought of that either!!! If you tire of one look, just look at the other side for a while!!! Wonder how many people would notice...???

Taking the shape and style of the truck, I'd consider an "artillery" style round spoke aluminum wheel or a chromed steel wheel.

"Artillery" style?? Really?? The truck is pink & silver & air-bagged, plus his wife is claiming it! I don't think "artillery" style will fly. Mama wants some bling! LOL! Originally Posted by Lord Antagonism

The truck's personality will be affected by your wheels.
"Performance look"... mags, like 5-spokes... halibrands... or others commonly used on race cars.
"Vintage look"... steelies... baby moons... full moons
"Custom look"... chromes... dress mags... wire wheels
"out-of-date"... directional mags :-)~
"Weird"... 6 or more spokes :-)~

Halibrands would be the ultimate. Wrong period for Artillery wheels.

I would be looking at something like cragar gray painted street pro's,then painting the main spoke your rose color so you have a set of wheels that really match your truck.Just my thoughts,I'm sure anything you go with will look great on that truck.A man has to know his limatations,but my list keeps exspanding.

Those would look good in 17" front, 18" rear! Originally Posted by plumpurpleplym

Well, the wifie narrowed it down to 3, then those choices went out to a survey in the shop...I'm thing the winner will look nice, and capture the "look" we're shooting for with this build...
Here's more pics of it starting to come together...still need to paint running boards rose and install them and the aprons...
Here's a shot of the 383 coming back together...
Thanks for all of your input!!!

I think those will go very nicely with the truck and go well with the color sceme too! Way to go wifie! Nice paint details on the engine too. Looks like a very top notch ride."

Yep, I think that you ended up with a perfect choice for the truck! And like Steve says, that engine bay is a thing of beauty. Going to be a great truck for Mama.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
