ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
I had a friend do some photoshop magic for me to help me decide what look might be best when I put the old ETs on the blue '62. He dubbed in a blackwall tire and colored the spokes.
So, since I respect your opinions, here goes. Take a look at these 4 selections: Natural, light gray, med gray and dark gray and let me know what you think. Try to imagine all 4 on the car. Natural:  Light gray  Medium gray  Dark gray  Thanks! .........Decisions, decisions, decisions.  I'm kinda partial to the natural (old and un-refined as it is) but I'm curious what you guys think.

-----My vote is for the middle gray. Get the rim as polished as you can to go along with it........Bill S

Polished rim and natural (rough texture) spokes. Hard to improve on the way they came out of the box.
(Of course that's just one opinion.  )

Vern I painted my ET mags with some rattle can black paint with silver flake. It looks like a dark gray but it sparkles like crushed opal. Mark

Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
I like the light gray with the dark blue and the chrome on the side of the car. I have ET's on my car and used the rattle can color "steel wheel silver". I was really happy with the look. You can see a close-up of my wheels in the members rides. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...e/0#Post367614

Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
My vintage Americans were a little stained so I painted the center area. A little too glossy for my liking but they clean up easier now. I used a color with a slight gold tint to try to replicate the early ARE coloring.
