rear, alliance farm flotation, 11L15,   as  first idea car had to spot chrome hubcaps, but i love the wheels without, feels badder. what do you guys think about this thing of hubcaps??

I'd leave the caps off. It looks a bit more purposeful and it's 4 less things to loose  ;D

I think they look best with white wheels and stock hubcaps.

I like the balloon tires in the back, but would a black wall have been a better choice in the front, to match?

simmetry is an old concept mike!!!!!  always remember one thing: no one is aestetically disturbed because cars have steering wheel only on one side!!! it only depends on your mind, and what u are used to see. ;D ;D ;D
is bullit joking? only half way.

all i want to se is that before doing this choice of tyres i saw millions of old pictures, i studied 1968-69 old "dune buggies and hot volkswagen magazine" and a lot of people did that thing of white stripe on the front, and ballon at rear.

in my opinion is that you have to consider ballons something special that come in a normal world (car i intend, oviously) so you can see them integrated. 8)

That's cool, you did a lot of research and know what you're looking for.  I still like it, definetly seems period-correct.
