that would be my 2c aswell and more so if using a whitwall
I was thinking the good old red rims.
With a full cap you just see the outer rim, I think it still look good.
Now I'm thinking the yellow to match the car with a red pin stripe around the lip???
I want something red pin stripping on the body too so it would match up.

that would work and if using a cap would also give it the zing of some chrome which as mentioned by someone chrome wheels would also look good but i doubt you'de be stretcing to the stupid money they want for chromies these days

Powder coat chrome isnt UV stable so goes yellow after a while, you can put a clear powder over the top but the its getting a bit thick and could chip.
