i am thinking about putting chrome mangel stock style wheels on my car, but not sure i will like them with whitewalls. anyone have any pics they can post with their cars with this setup?

my old bug not a type 3, but you get the idea. I like the combo



without whitewalls, the rear in this pic is actually a 66 bug rim, painted to match the front "chromie"

Always liked the way your car looked Erik. It's the inspiration for my Notch.



Someday I'll convert it back to wide-5 and run some chromies.

That digital patina looks awesome! The missing trim, extra fresh!

Try this on for size. 145's, Porta walls, and chrome mangels. 65 Notch sold but wheel/tires currently on my lowered 69 square. Hope it helps.

thanks! doesnt look bad there. i wonder if it would look much different since my white walls dont go all the way to the wheel.

No problem. How wide is the white on your white walls, 4 or 5 lug, are you lowered, and what size tire? All will make a difference in the appearance.

here is the car below. it will be lowered 2 front and probbly one rear. the roof will eventually be orange with probably gold glitter in it. i am looking to go 50s custom, like the the second pic. oh ya, 4 lug like your wheels.
