In case anyone is counting,,,, the score is 8-Orange and 9-Green !! Not really a landslide either way !
I've always liked Chevy Orange and in my mind, I would do them Orange. But after seeing the photo shop pic with the Green, I'm really undecided ?? :confused: One reason I might lean to the Green side, is on the passenger side of the car has some red on it,, so the Green would look better than the Orange. When I was looking for a pic of the passenger side, ran across this one with some Orange wheels.

Well, that last pic decides it. Passenger side green, drivers side orange!

I like the orange better, but not sure it would look good with the red also - too many colors then.
 
Going Green !

Well,, green it is ! I got the front set of 7's today and the set of caps. Waiting on the rear set of 8's with special order back spacing. I Picked out some cool green paint too. Thanks for all who commented.

Can you say Green !!! BAM !!! I think they look better in person , the color really pops in photographs !! I'm likeing the change. Believe me, when I got the rear ones in bare metal,,, I was thinking how cool it would be to let them rust up and put the 52 centers on them !!!

Thought I was done ?? Yeah right !

This is what you look like when you can't make up your mind !! I was still undecided ?? Just had to see some orange in person. Even went to a show half and half.. and after lookin at it for a couple of days there, it was clear that I wanted a darker green, maybe close to the original green on the car!
