Body color ralley wheels?

[robjkc]

I've got a set of 14" ralley's and am contemplating painting them body color while the painter for my 64 Dart /6 has them and running them without the trim rings and with the cone centers.

The other options are just painting them argent silver and using the trim rings. I also have a set of steel wheels I am painting body color and use with the biscuit hubcaps.

I got the idea after seeing this 65 'cuda...

Any thoughts one way or another?

I like them silver....

How about argent without the trim rings? The 71 Duster Twisters had them
that way. Had them on my 71.

I like it, no trims.

Sounds good, but loses something when actually done.
Looks kinda hokey IMO.

Steelies- body color,
Rallyes- Silver (either light or dark, with or without chrome or brushed trim rings, and with or with out centers[early or late] or silver painted hubs)

Sounds like the consensus is for SILVER. You all have swayed me back on track.

Car will be in the booth in about two weeks after 6 months of restoration. It's getting painted by Mike Roeder from Rolla, MO. Here's Mike's work on someone elses 68...

Hope mine turns out just as nice!

I have a set of 14"x4.5 steelies that will get body color. It would be nice to have both sets (ralley and steelies with tires) so I can change them out to get a different look. First I have to upgrade to big bolt after I finish with the body work.

I had thought about painting mine orange but every time I seen a set orange they didn't look just right so I'm 100% with silver or grey either one.

Argent and polished trim rings are my fav's like abodyee has pictured. tmm

It was big in the 80's, along with painted bumpers. I painted a set white to match my Duster. Looked okay then, but times have changed.

Steelies- body color,
Rallyes- Silver

The old classic still looks the best.

 

[Dartnut]

Definitely go silver.

yup...silver for me too, colored wheels are ugly.
