I've got 'em, but not sure if I should add trim rings or not, and paint the wheels body color or some other color.
A vintage look calls for whitewalls, and body color wheels, trim rings dress things up nicely, especially on a dark colored wheel.......... let us know what you decide on.
This is what I currently have, exactly, but I don't like my white walls, so I'm gonna turn them around and either paint the letters white, or leave the letters black and put on a beauty ring to go with the dog dish.Loved my dog dishes, black wheels, and WW.View attachment 578976
Black wheel on blackwall tire...... to me........ works better with SOMETHING to break it up. Letters on the tires might do it, see how it looks to you - if something more is still needed, you can always add trim rings. I have also seen wheels painted to match the interior, works well on black cars, but you have to have a good contrasting interior color as well........different combinations work better on different year cars as well. I'd take a look at the Wheel Vintiques website - a lot of good ideas there....... hope this helps - go with what you like at the end of the day.......My car is black, so "body colored" wheels are black also. I have white walls but I really dislike them, so I was thinking about turning the tires around for the white lettered look. Since the tires, wheels and car are all black I was considering trim rings just to break up the line between the wheels and tires, but it almost seems like overkill. I don't like trim rings WITH whitewalls. I might just go with white letters and dog dishes and call it good. Not sure . . .
