The rims themselves, I'll say anything goes. It's up to your personal taste and that is very different among us all.
Personally I like that retrorace look and with 15" and higher profile tires it will be cool.
Will it be like this Swedish classic racer, just restored to its 1970 specs.

Thanks Jan, the class I'm gonna run is Historic Road Sports so unfortunately I have to run standard diameter brakes. However, my friend races his '69 Mustang but with upgraded racing pads, shoes etc & the stopping power is awesome, it just takes a while to get everything working right in the first place. Thats why I posted the question on another part of the forum about brakes & to how much better the bigger ones were over stock in a 30-0, 60-0 & 100+-0 but no-one answered. Seems people just buy them & run with them. With racing however you want to know EXACTLY what differences any changes make. The plan is to run the Superlites in a 15" for racing & then fit bigger ,17" or 18" wheels & tyres for road use to bring the car up to date looks wise. Hence the question do those wheels look dated.?
I just love the picture of that race car. At one point I was going to "clone" the Penske/Donohue car but changed direction after finding you guys on the forum.
