Very nice but they could have left the red stripes off.

I wonder if it's the same builder who did a red 300 on a similar chassis ?
IIRC, that car was featured in MCG a while back, and there was mention of another similar build.

What a cool car, but those wheels are an abomination on that thing.

Need 20's to clear the brakes, 5x115 bolt circle, with the right center bore. I'm betting most of the aftermarket stuff looks worse, except maybe Torq-Thrusts...

That guy bought a friend of mines 1955 300 last year to build another one for a client . Which was a shame as that car was real nice and an unrestored mostly original car.

i have 6 piston Baer front brakes with 15" rotors on my mustang. 19" wheels clear just fine.
if you ask me they went the cheap route and used the original wheels on the SRT repaired / restored.

If one wanted whitewalls they could use these wheels: https://www.deluxewheels.com/the-wheels/ They look like 15s, but are really 20s.
