Re: Chrome Steelie or Reverse?

I always liked them back in the day,then got away from chrome due to rust issues. But with the years passing and my '67 going to be a pleasure vehicle not driven in winter,parked inside,and generally only driven in good weather I want some. I have 8" steelies I had powder coated red in '05 to run wheelcovers and narrow white walls on a '72 short bed I had. I sold that truck to build this '67 that is going nowhere. Anyway,this truck is going another direction running dog dish hubcaps and everything is planned round the red wheels. I came to realize if I got chrome wheels I could go with any color scheme. The '65 Pontiac hubcaps I have would look great with the rim mirroring the alternate chrome/black ribs. The open look is great,too. I'm sure your truck would look hot with them
