I went to Google images and grabbed a few 38s for you. Take a look at

I can't figure out how to change colors, so maybe someone can grab one of those and paint the Viper color on it.

I'd go with at least 15s. 14s look lost in the wheelwells. For something vintage, go with steelies with rings and caps, halibrands or American Racing(the new salt flats are tasty), or maybe Radirs if you want something different.

Ought to keep you busy with stuff that isn't on the new cars.

The car looks good without the bumper, but I prefer one.
I'm also not a fan of the modern engine covers. They sure don't fit into a vintage era either.
Best bet is to figure out what YOU like, and see if it all fits into a specific era. Postwar, Mid-50s, Early 60s, 70s Resto rod, 80s Easter egg/billet/dechroming, 90s super smooth, 2000s big wheel, etc.
The engine is late, but can be dressed to look earlier and it doesn't show anyway.

Most successful cars don't mix and match different eras. You see a postwar bootleg car with billet and it's jarring.
