Default opinions on wheels 69 Torino

Hi all, kinda new here and I'm looking at some Rushforth wheels. I know they are popular so I'm looking for you input.
I like both the Livewire and SuperSpokes and I'm leaning toward the brushed and cleared centers with polished hoops but have considered the titanium coated centers as well. I think black and gunmetal are too dark for my tastes. Just looking for opinions, thanks !
here is a pic of my car:

I think the SuperSpokes with a brushed center would look bad ass. Give me call if you have questions.

Agreed, they look killer on this Chevelle, thanks for responding Justin.

Agree with justin. Brushed super spokes would look killer on that car.

I like both designs, but am kind of leaning on the side of the Livewires with a brushed center. Either way you can not go wrong. Nice looking car!

I agree with Eric on this. Your car has 'squareish' lines to it and I think the !st ones would fit in with that.

I very rarely give wheel opinions, I find the decision as important as a womens wedding dress decision.

Either would look good to me, I would flip a coin.

With the color of your car,I wouldn't do a brushed center...too light...IMHO.

If that were my car,I'd consider a smoked titanium or gunmetal center with polished & cleared hoops...that's what I'd do.
Have someone photochop them on there and see for yourself.

Sweet car by the way...dare to be different.

musclecarjohn has a good point on the color. And if anyone knows how to choose the right wheels it's him....
