Looking ideas for a '56 Ford

[AndrewNTX]

I'm working on a unique '56 Thunderbird, the car rides on 15" steel wheels and chrome hubcaps, stock. The color is green and the interior is green and white. I'll go with something in the "hot rod gray", to to aim for period correct but more modern in size, 17" or 18"; the gray and the car body color will be nice.

The car is set up w/ a 5.0 Ford, EFI and AOD. Vintage Air HVAC heat/cool/defrost. It has the makings of a nice hot rod, given the right wheels and proper stance. Power from the motor will be easy using typical 5.0 parts. The overdrive trans will be nice for motoring on the freeway.

Some ideas I've been considering for wheels...

AR Salt Flat type - if I could find something in 18"
Billet Specialties Apex G
Rocket Booster gray
Boss 338's
