    Thanks, actually they are vintage E.T.'s that are mint, including the center caps..

    Now im trying to decide if I want to put any singage on the side for example "Long Jons Surf Shop" or maybe something like the rat rods have these days.. Then top it off with a rack on top with a surfboard/longboard..

    I was thinking ET's as well.  Would love to know the sizes for comparison.  Trying to figure out my wheel plan.  If you are asking me, I would vote "no" on the surfboard.  I like the roof racks.  Surfboard thing has been done a million times.   Your van stands on it's own.  Lettering would be cool.  White is a blank pallet.  

    Bumpers?

    Front wheels are 14x7.5 with 215/60-14
    Rears wheels are 14x9 with L60's (equal to 275/60-14)

    Its hard to get a good photo of the color but its actually the factory baby blue. Im open for ideas on some lettering, signage or vinal graphics for the side if anyone has any.

    Can they make a new sign look like it is 35-40 years old? An old surf shop company logo would look cool.

    Here are some ideas;
