    i voted #2 just because i have the similar wheels and the same rubber i like that style
    but #3 is awesome it has this stock look to it but a custom stock like you see on like old 40s and 50s cars with steel wheels painted to match the car

    Option #3, but with white letter tires. Possibly eight inch wheels on the back. GREAT looking ride either way. :yup:

    Option #3, but with white letter tires. Possibly eight inch wheels on the back. Those body colored wheels are awesome. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. Great looking ride either way. Sorry about the double vote, I thought the first one was lost. This one showed up before the first one did.

    #3 by a narrow margin. Very narrow.

    I like all of them sure is a tough choice, basically 123 in the order you got them. Your car has a unique color and seeing it on the wheels just looks mean. Do you have any factory dress rings? might look hot on 3 revealing less color. just a thought of course with the power that car has they might fly off. lol

    Love all three looks but gotta go with #3... It screams muscle car resto, untill you open the hood...Then it just...screams bbb bad...
    Perhaps we should coin a new term for this car... Resto/sleeper???

    DAMN That's a tough choice... But I say a mixture of 2&3 as well.

    I voted 2 because it went with the blacked out trim and scoop/stripe on the car but I would rather have #3 with the body color painted wheel done with wider rims in back and different tires, but hey they all look good on it, as would a trans am series type wheel as mentioned before....cool.

    I say #2, but 3 would truly be the ultimate "restosleeper."

    3! That's what I would do if I wasn't going to run aluminum wheels.

    I like the black wall in #1 but it needs different caps.
    Raised white letters are a sign that says, "Hey cops, HERE I am!!" and I don't need that attention.
    Painted wheels that match the car color are OK for a grocery getter but on a muscle car ???
