You have a great looking car why listen to or ask anybody about it. IMO you got it going on with your car. By the way I'ed realy like to see more of that door detail handles etc.

I love the Tork Thrusts, just as you do.

Hey Dave you can get the Halibrand 5 spokes (look sort of like AR Torque Thrust) and add a knock off style spinner versus a center cap.

I prefer the current look. The dark wheels are a balance to the dark glass. That is the only presentation, so far, that doesn't draw the attention away from the lines of the car.

My opinion: BEAUTIFUL! Uh... isn't that just what everybody does?

Umm, how about you paint those spokes in the same color red as the car. Or better yet, apply a woodgrain finish to the spokes! You'd be starting a new wood spoke wheel trend! It would then be unique, right? If all else fails, go back to factory wheelcovers.

Stock Studebaker Speedster wires would look nice I always liked the 55 look. PS, Great looking car Studedude

Hope you don't mind me touching 'Sheba (I was a perfect gentleman), but I really like the new Weld Pro Stars on her.[8D]

I wasn't so nice to her, I put lipstick, rouge, and oiled her down. Rubbed her body all over.

I really like the look of your current wheels best. If you have to change, how about raised white letter tires?
BTW, what happened to your vent wings?

As mentioned in another thread, we are considering a new look for 'Sheba.

I personally like the Torque Thrust wheels, but I would have the spokes darker for this car. You would have the same kind of balance you have now only with a different look.
IMHO Stay away from the hoops and rubber bands. They don't look right on these older cars.

I've always been partial to the Torq Thrust w/raised white letters.

[sbca96]

Torque Thrusts are sooooooo played out its not funny. I think your
best off sticking with what you have, unless you want to go up a size
or two for better options in performance tires (I assume the current
wheels are 15").

I honestly wouldnt change it - looks great.
