What color to paint my wire wheels-your thoughts
I just bought 5-21" wheels from a fordbarn member, Dean< nice guy. I want to know what colors you think I should pa
int them. The car color is "Balsam Green" with a lighter stripe...but not a '29 color....it currently has yellow wheels but I am toying with RED or a LIGHTER GREEN>..thoughts from purists or those with great Model A knowledge. Thanks Kris |

Kris- If you can, post a picture of your car. Someone here might be able to photoshop a few different colors right on the car for you.

As for black, with blackwall tires, to me its like black socks and dress shoes while you are wearing shorts....I agree it looks right but wanted to lighten up the wheel color while accenting the car color and showing off wire wheels....hmmm...got me thinking

Re: What color to paint my wire wheels-your thoughts
Fred has a good point...factory colors were black...I do like the purist point of view...can you tell by the color of the car in my album, if the colors are corect. It was my father-in-laws car and most of it is correct...wish the transmission was an old grinder...but he put the Chevy S-10 5 speed in it...I am going to look through the garage at my mother in laws for the original transmission.

Black with black wall tires looks so slick and more than appropriate.

Cligk on "Go Advanced",
Click on "Manage attachments", Click on "Browse photos", Click on the photo you want, Click on "open", Click on "Post Quick Reply", And there you have it, the photo should be there. And if none of this works, try all the contortions everybody else goes through to get their pictures on here.

Re: What color to paint my wire wheels-your thoughts
I am not a purist nor do I have a great Model A knowledge. So I am not qualified to answer. I am however very secure in the knowledge that there are at least 12 that are qualified. :-)

Re: What color to paint my wire wheels-your thoughts
I vote for yellow, and I don't mean cream. I like the Spark Yellow Mazda used in 1979. If not yellow, go for black.

Black wheels and tires would be my vote, but run what you like...
