The Roach

I'm not sure either. The 17" wheels show more of the drums than 14" or 15" would. On an upcoming sunny day, I'll roll it outside in the sun soon and step back for a look. Fortunatey, it's an easy fix if I decide to repaint them.

Yeah, make them black. The red pops out as much as those cars that haven't painted the rad supports black.

Manly rims yes,but I like them too!

Paint the drums to match the car and/or the Wildwood front calipers if you dislike the red.

They’re going to be painted black because ……..












Black drums matter.

Blast them clean and coat them with Boeshield T9

Black drums will go un-noticed..... better than red IMHO. The red sticks out too much and could harm the overall finish.

If the car was 4 wheel drums, the red paint would be cool IF it actually lasted more than 3 miles.
Confession:
The main reason that I converted to rear discs was for the sake of appearance.

Ok, I just got to ask, white walls?

I like the red drums. After they go through a couple of heat cycles they will tone down a little.

I'm old, so I'm going for that old school look.

Submit's not gonna be happy about the extra gal on the hood though....

Sorry not digging the red drums, just doesn't work with purple paint.

That’s my favorite part of the car otherwise it’s like all the other fake boob blondes , it gives it a mix of old and new especially with the wheels keep it be bold man….

 

[Big bill]

I don't like red drums with any color! Rather just paint them flat black....

Boring

 

[icetech]

Cast blast....

 

[Richard Cranium]

Fixed.

Back in the day, more of them ran white lines than dog dish caps. My GTX, when it was a daily driver.

Was going to suggest make a 3/32" polished stainless disc that just fits inside wheel. It would be cut like a wheel spacer. Only you have disc brakes in front, but work. Definitely make rear wheels stand out.

Most of the cars that were bought or ordered with dog dish hubcaps had cragars or something else put on them their first week.
