What colour for Woody's new shoes?

Eveming all,

For those not familiar please let me introduce Woody.



That's the truck not the driver...

Anyway, I am going to start on my disk brake and 5 lug conversion in the next week or so and have a nice new shiney set of steel wheels to replace the 6 studs currently keeping the sills from contacting the pavement...

Now from research it would appear that solid colour trucks have black wheels whilst duo tone have white ones.

My question is, What would look better on my battered green truck?

Sort of leaning towards black.... and then back to white...

I know it is my truck and do what you like but could do with a general consensus. For clarity there is about a further 2" reduction in ride height that will coincide with the new shoes.

So, what does the panel think?

P.

With those hubcaps go white. Black rims look good with painted caps. Rainbow rims go well with hippy busses.

Re: What colour for Woody's new shoes?

Thank you for the input Gents. Dropping the wheels off at an old friends to get some colour applied this evening, as he is a rather 'opinionated' chap regardless of what colour I stipulate they will come back the colour he wants to paint them...

Rainbow rims it is then!
