I just looked at your pics... looks nice BTW... anyway I've got 15" 'dials on my car as well and they are looking a bit tatty. Not scratched mind you just in need of a repaint. Now the light in your second pic got me thinking... they look a little gold in that pic although I realize they are not... but would a "warmer" silver, maybe even a noticeable gold tint look cool on a black '44? Or would it just look ghetto?

photochoppers? help a brother out?

thanks

nate

Um, interesting thought. Sincc youll get the repainted anyway, spray them and see, then get them professionally done in which ever looks best.

Personally I think gold with black would look excellent!! My car is black and it has gold pinstripe around it that looks pretty good in my opinion.

I was trying to contemplate White Fusch's with my black car.

I was thinking about rounding up some 16 or 17 inch phones and powdercoating them white to match car.

I think phonedials are a makin' a comeback!

I definitely like the polished look.

Someday in the far future I would like to get the paddle polish on my Fuchs...
