    Need wheel choice help!
    OK nearing the end of my Jetfire project. Need help with size, color and other options.
    This is just a temporary choice. The final wheel will be 5 lug but thats not for a year or two.
    Here is what I have. 13″ black wall tire and rim. Tires near new. Dog dish hub cap. Check the two attached photos. The second choice is 14″ black wall tire. White rims need tires. Dog dish hub cap.
    Just trying to select size, trim ring and color.

    The white. Looks great with your paint.

    Like the white 14s. Not much tire selection available in either size, 14s a little better than 13s I guess but then your 13s are almost new anyway. Go to 15″ and lots of tires to choose from. If it’s temp I’d go with the one with good tires.

    I like the looks of the white wheel better.

    Thanks to all who replied. I am looking for a set of 14″ trim ring. If anyone has a set or one single drop me an email. Maybe a set of Cragar SS wheels
    Thanks again,
    Ken

    Eric
    I think those are plastic. I know I have seen some factory wheels with trim rings on the 14″ wheels.
    Thanks for the reply

    I did not even notice that. There are lots of rings on eBay for 14 inch. If you can’t find the exact thing maybe you could get 4 matching that are close till you find the right thing? I will keep my eyes open for an original
