Hobbs Camaro (Old Drag Car)

Blue wheels are the classic/original look. Can't go wrong either way. But, I'd opt for black wheels if it were my car.

I vote for black

Blue painted wheels were for the more 'optioned' cars. Black was for the bare bones models.
Since this one is a 'less is more' exercise, Satin Black would be my go-to.

Since the majority went black I’d go the opposite.

Body color, maybe Dutch Boys can do some patina on them?

Yeah, I was thinking the same - body color with some patina. Black just isn't going to look factory IMHO, don't think that was ever done was it? Mine came with lemans blue wheels from the factory, same color as the body.

Since you drive your stuff..... My vote is black wheels. VHT Epoxy Satin Black is very easy to source & use for touch-up needs @ any time. I use it on my steelies for just that reason.

I’m with skip no caps - fits the drag racing aesthetic no decoration (caps) necessary - roaster shop pulled it off beautifully with this build a few years back

I'd try for matching the blue first as to many people are going with black wheels now. You can fall back to black if it doesn't work out with the blue. You could also try, black lips as suggested in the interim to see how that would play out.

And, I'd go with center caps so long as they'll stay on at speed.

A lot of changes this go around. Im noticing the radiator mounting is not the bushing type you’ve been doing?
