I like to stand at the front corner of a car and look down the side to "see" the profile of the car. Then I try to match the cross section of the wheel to the car.
For example, a 67 Chevy II looks best with flat spokes, while a 68 Camaro--or your T/A for that matter--looks best with a slightly curved spoke profile.
Most cars have sharp, crisp edges and the edges of the wheel spokes should match. Your T/A has mostly rounded edges such as the way that your deck lid flows into your rear quarters or your shaker scoop.
A set of modern Mini-Lites would be hard to beat while the flat spokes of the Fikse FM5 might look bland surrounded by all those curves.
..or at least that is how I was taught by someone who knows their stuff.
