To me they have the same visual vibe as white walls and 50's wheel covers.
Not 100% the same thing, but wide white visually make the wheel diameter larger and the tire smaller.
There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

yes those wheels look good on your truck and I do love that finished paint job... I have been following the build thread of your boattail roadster too but have noticed that you haven't posted lately is because you are enjoying your summer months now and too busy fitting in all those hot rod drive ins etc.???I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

The main reason is the heat. It is real hard to get motivated when the air temp is 97* (probably hotter in the shop).

Took it to the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. It was freakin' hot!
Oh yeah, it looks like I finally figured out why the truck was getting crappy gas mileage. The big chrome fuel pump was pushing gas past the needle and seat. I put a stock fuel pump on the truck and my gas mileage jumped from around 8 mpg to 15!
I don't think I will get much more out of it with 20's and the overall aerodynamics of this truck.
...over 5,500 miles on the truck now.Last edited by Flipper_1938; 06-21-2010 at 07:27 AM.

Went to another Frog Follies (3rd year with the truck). It was a great show. I had to drive back in the rain though...couldn't stand to ride with the windows up (no air), so I got a little wet. In some ways, it was kinda fun.
Truck now has over 6,600 miles on it.
