It's also with the roof down and the bonnet off
I prefer the whitewalls with the car as it is now. I'm going to be rebuilding it at some point and it'll be much shorter and a touch lower without the side exhausts. Then the 19's will suit it properly. The problem is the skinny 19's would be from a slightly earlier style hotrod that would have had a 4-banger and no flames.

Is it locked up with a bike chain?

It's not just due to the pictures, I think because the whole car is quite dark and 'less than pristine' looking I think the nice bright clean whitewalls add a nice contrast which really sets off the whole look.
Probably doesn't help that the tyres on your new wheels appear to have a somewhat agricultural tread pattern either. |
