I'm confused. Did you mean to say you don't like them? It says you like them but they don't look right! Or have I not had enough coffee yet?

The smoothies would probably work well if I went with a complete 50s or 60s theme. With the rear wheels pushed back like this, and skinnies up front, I could probably pull off a nice 60s drag race theme - but that's not my thing. Ditto for big whitewalls and narrow rears for a 50s theme - not my thing.

In any case, the smoothies are just an intermediate step. I was planning on using a set right now just to get the mismatched Cragars and factory steel wheels off the thing, so I stuck them on the rendering to see what it would look like. I definitely want forged alloy wheels. Since they're not exactly cheap, I want to have the details and specs sorted out, as much as possible, before ordering them. I may go back and try the Forgelines on this view.
