Those wheels belong on a tuner car.

there was a '53 or '54 Starlight at SB with those rims, I thought they actually looked pretty good on that car. I think those are supposed to be lightweight rims for drag racing. As for the Starlight, I am guessing it was Chevy powered from the exhaust note but never got to see under the hood. It was very nicely done with some subtle custom graphics and a Hawk dash with a bead blasted aluminum face. I really liked the overall look of that car.

Nice looking wagon. Looks like one I have. Except the paint is better... and the upholstry... probably the engine...
Nice thing about those wheels is that NOS wheels and hubcaps are readily avialable.
Lotsa Larks!

Don't get me wrong, I like wheels as much as the next guy, but I think they should be "period correct".
If you're gonna go that route[]

I would agree. A nice set of Cragar S/S or American Torque Thrusts would look better .

My wife's 64 Wagonaire cost a lot more but isn't as nice. I'm thinking of pulling the 259 V8, 3-speed & rear to install something like a stock 5.4 Lightning or FI 502 Chevy that will allow her power steering (will likely have to put a Mustang II front end on it), brakes, & either an automatic or 5-sp. Probably go with a 9" Ford rear to hold the power & torque. Might be easier to just pop the body on a late model Ford or S-10 Frame. Ever hear of anyone doing that?

And no BSing. I'm sure your wife wasn't pounding on the table for a 9" rear and 500 HP...
