Yep - 427 Street, who I haven't seen on here in awhile, liked the wide hip look with the Sunburst wheels and tires buried back inside. But it's definitely an acquired taste that I just don't think I could ever manage to acquire.
It would be great if the Sunburst Wheels could be had in a bit wider rim with a lesser rear offset - but the outer face doesn't readily lend itself to adapting to a deeper dish face without loosing their classic appearance.
It would be great if ERA would offer a narrow hip version. But to do it right they would need revised rear fender molds and revised front fender molds to correct the lower, rear flare on the wheel opening.
