Big rims looks good, but when they are so big you can't set the car down on them, then they look like wagon wheels
But I think I know what you mean

search for groovyjay's car....... that's the money shot



regarding my color, we ended up going through 10 swatches of colors and at the time the green with blue pearl seemed nice...... i would like to get my 77 repainted and a few body mods fixed.... so we'll see if i can get a local shop to do it for me since most of the body work is done.... prolly just a scuff/sand then respray......
