Monoblock wheels on a 1st or 2nd Gen? Pictures?
 
Does anyone have pictures of, renderings of, or thoughts on using a Monoblock-style wheel on a 1st or 2nd gen F-body? Or really any musclecar...

I'm so accustomed to the older cars using a more standard lipped-style wheel that it's hard to picture how a wheel that is generally used on a newer car would look on the old car.

I'm debating wheels right now, and I actually really like the Forgeline GA1R wheel a lot! I think it would be made to work for my application, but I'm not 100% sure. Regardless, I'm trying to think how it would look?

Has anyone done this? What do you think? Here is the car it would go on. It's not the best picture, but I don't seem to have a good side shot:

My other options from Forgeline include the following:

GA3:

GZ3:

And although lower on my list, the RB3C:

Check out Mary Pozzis second gen, it has forgelines on it, not sure of the type though.

Mary's car has the GA3's in all black if I recall correctly. That is one of my choices, although I'm mixed on the all black combination...

Ironically I woke up and saw this picture in my Facebook feed this morning:

Doesn't look too bad actually...

I think the mono block look is awesome. I have never been a fan of the super deeeeep rear wheels... but the rest of the world loves it so I keep my trap shut.
