Can you give a little info on your wheels? TM or GM Built by whom General rule GM silver, colors won't hold up. TM White circle, doesn't make much difference just do the deck in a diffent color

I always thought tan sweeps and rim irons would be nice as a neutral color and will hide any rust. White is nice but it shows any rust or scratch's very ealily.
For the seats I would say two complementary colors like pink and blue, red and blue, green and yellow, orange and blue, etc.
For the trailer (assuming trailer mounted), maybe a green, yellow, or ed.
It is what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.

I'm trying to visualize...is there enough clearance between the spokes of an Eli Wheel and the towers as they pass by, to put turbos on the spokes (and rim) of the wheel like the big wheels? I always thought that would look good and wondered why it hadn't been done yet. At least I've never seen an Eli Wheel lighted in that fashion. Could it be done that way?
I've never been "with it", just been an interested observer of carnivals for more than 50 years.

None of the conversions will handle turbo lights. No clearance. Some of the Led and specialty lights will

A wheel with a white circle and white seats decaled properly look taller. On the Sunny conversions the paint held up well. When we put the folding stars in we left enough room for light circle which wouls accomodate turbos but white tubes on a white circle made it look massive at night.

Slick, does this wheel an Eli clutch, cable driven?

Bill put new style LEDs on the Storm, the Magnum has new lighting, Talley redid the lighting on thier Sizzler all look good. Something you will have research.

For the record If you have a problem with that wheel let me know. I worked for Sunny when we mounted it.
