I still haven't decided to use the Bosica 356 wheels in the picture, or a very nice set of Fuchs I have made by Sprint 43. Open to suggestions.

I think those american racing style wheels you used on that Vette would look cool. Or 934/917 style centerlocks striped to match your decals.

I think you should try out a set of modified Fuchs. I would suggest wide barrels for the rears with a lower sheen polish and painted centers; similar to the white Outlaw 356 by Shin on Mike's gallery. But not with the whole center painted, just the "petals," leaving the rest of the wheel face polished or "aluminum" looking. either white or red for the petals, depending on the overall look of the decals. Then go with the normal or slightly widened barrels on the front, with the same treatment for the centers. If that does not look good then I think I would do a similar treatment to the Takumi Inaba Outlaw Speedster also in the gallery, with polished lip and petals, outlined in black. I am very excited to see the progress of this model! My Drogo may need a JWood stablemate.
