Checkout the link below to see the two different sets of wheels I've had on my car. Lemme know which set you guys (and Kate) think look best. Nevermind the tires as they're going away next spring, probably for either a set of Firestone Indy's or Bridgestone Potenza G009's.
The top is a set of Centerline Convo Pro's and the bottom is a Western Wheels copy of the Minilite Sport.

I greatly prefer the bottom set... but then I always thought studded wheels looked stupid, and "Always" is... what, now... 30 years?.
Seconded...
Top. The bottom ones look like something, I just can't place them. Seems like Chevy had some rims on something that looked a lot like those. But then as long as you leave one pair on each side, no one will ever notice...
The convo wheels look good when clean, but only then. The bottom ones look like they push the rear tire outside the fender (do they?) and I've never been a fan of that.
I wonder how the car would look with a set of '03 Mach 1 wheels?

Nah, the tires in the rear are gone on the pic with minilites. They were
295/50's and were outside the wheelwell. Just too damn wide, but they were free so I tried'em out. LOTSA grip, but rubbed like a muthaf-cka over any crack in the road.Without reading the other posts first, I have to say that I like the ones on the top the best. Your car definitely calls out for some old school style wheels though.
Now Brad, I think that is a good suggestion, or something similar. The centerlines do look real nice though, and he already has those.
I had the thought of the 16" "Eleanor" style wheels on the new V6's. Or the Edelbrock 454 wheel.

DAMN! I think those WOULD look nice!

Oo, those look really nice. The big ones without the spinners.
So I take it my idea of a pair of each on either side doesn't appeal to you?
Ummm, no!

The actual Newstalgia wheel looks like an old Halibrand knock if, IIRC, doesn't it?
knock OFF, sheesh!

Yeah, it kinda does. Personally, I'd opt for the American Torq Thrust or the Cragar SS.
