Wheels too big?

[markbognor]

I just can't decide, it looks epic at the back with all that tuck, but I'm not feeling the front.

I think it just looks odd because we've been conditioned to seeing cars like that with smaller wheels. I quite like it and fair play to the builder 'cos that low on big wheels is a load more work than on littluns.

[ruishy1]

looks good IMHO

I think that looks spot-on. They're big, but subtle and tasteful. I think it sits beautifully.

[Copey]

i like it!

Indeed, I also wondered if it was the style of the wheels too, big wheels in a more modern style, or certainly in a style not so often seen smaller might look less odd.

I LOVE that. Absolutely love it. YeS

think the size of the wheels is fine but the difference in offsett makes them look odd the rears have very deep spokes where as the fronts are almost flat

Actually now you mention it does look a little odd, I think the difference in camber accentuates the difference in offset.
Still would though

I like, any idea of what the wheels are?

[Mad Max]

Love it! Wouldnt change a thing!

[ditchdigger]

Classic styled wheels in modern sizes on old cars? Yeah.... I am a fan


Those are either watanabes or panasports on that datsun.

[devilishdesigner]

could do with taller tyres, but otherwise spot on

[dcebersole]

I would be happy to drive that, looks sweet.

[g40jon]

the wheel fits the profile of the arch nicely imo

[rmad]

Works for me!

[will]

Wheel size fits the car nicely IMO. Ditchdiggers is pretty sweet too

[popuptoaster]

I like the size better than the smaller ones that seem fashionable at the moment, but that style rim never look great without a bit of dish.

[Granadaman72]

Looks great to me

I think it works

If it were mine I'd have it a bit higher at the back (like an inch or so) as I always find that cars with low rear arches always look like they're sitting back even if they're flat to the road as that one is. A bit of rake visually conteracts that.
