I know the look you're talking about Ryan and I kinda like it on some cars/trucks. Sometimes the baby moon can be substituted with an old style Ford cap, too. In the latest issue of Streetrodder magazine on page 32, there's a '36 Ford Phaeton with updated "artillary" wheels & caps, which look to be around 17"front/18" rear that look pretty cool.

A lot of the new aftermarket wheels are just too much "bling" for me! I've been gravitating towards more traditional styles but in modern sizes. It gives the car/truck and "edge" without going over the top. I will probably do 17"front/18"rear on my 37. I like the 20's on the rear of the '40 in your video link but any bigger than that is just too much for me.

Here's a pic of some aluminum rims to look like steelies. This truck belongs to one of the guys at the F100 Western Nationals that I always go to. They're definitely more pricey than the steelies but kinda illustrate the look you're talking about I think....
