Hi there, The wheels from this one were taken for my 49 mercury and I want to share the rest of that studebaker project with you. I made a topchop on it.The kit offers this possibility with a second glass insert for the chopped version.I also changed the rear fender and lights.First I tried some steel rims with whitewalls but they look a little bit to big in my opinion.... But at least those wheels will look perfect for me So it´s time to finish this one,too Interior will be light brown with chrome trim etc,the engine will be the stock engine. Cheers,Chris

Quite a knockout you have there ready to come off the bench. LOVE the color! The wire wheels definitely go better than the steelies. Keep us posted!

I don't think those are wires guys, looks like early 60's pontiac wheels to me, but I could be wrong
Anyway, I really like what you've done to those. The rear fenders look really good. First glance you know somethings different, but you aren't sure what. And I like the color too.

Nice Stude you've got there - I really like the Buick-styled rear fenders!

I don't seem to read far enough Pontiac wheels they are.
