......"Those rims and tires make me gag!"......
Yep, me too. I think probably that is just us showing our age. I see lots of things besides cars that we would never have seen in our youth. Ol Skool Rods is still hanging on while others have folded up. I was getting a subscription to Hot Rod magazine for $1 per month. I got Car Craft for nothing for over 3 yrs and they had a few good articles about home built drag cars which I liked but most of this is not appealing to me either. I think those kinds of wheels were popular with the low-rider culture from some years back and the wheel and tire guys just love new ideas and new equipment to sell. Works I would say by what I see on the streets. My next door neighbor has got a 57 Ford 300 sedan, that I just love. Only issue is it is a four door. But still nice to look at. There is a 56 BelAir 2 dr sedan around that I see a lady driving most of the time.....saw it out yesterday. Real nice restored original. Put some nice Cragar mags on it with some nice tires and a dual exhaust and tinker with the motor and you would have my kind of 55 Chev. The few I see around here all belong to people like me who are not young anymore....sadly.
