Yup. It's basically like my prime choice, but with the deep dish look. I'm really leaning more towards that as well!!

Color, not gold. Gold against a bright green doesn't look good to me. I'd go a dark gold/bronze or lighter gray rim. I'd suggest a center that's not so dark in color that you lose the details of the machining. Polished lips with machined centers sounds nice. The polished lip helps set off the wheel from the tire and frames the center to me.
Good luck. I hate the idea of picking rims so much that I'd just copy someone else or get something traditional like a Forgeline DE3P or Fiske FM5 or FM10 and call it done. They're not new but they look great. I'd seriously go mad if I had to choose something new.

DUDE!!! It was easier to find the color I wanted for the car, than to pick wheels now. Initially it wasn't like that. I had my heart set on Rushforth Night Trains, but now that I look at more wheels, I'm finding others I really like. Ugh

I think that style goes better on modern European cars. Just something about deep dish wheels on American muscle cars I guess. My wheel guy is the one that suggested BC Forged. He said it's the best bang for the buck!!
I'll likely just stick with the brushed centers, but I really do like that Crystal Coffee too!!

Check out some pics of my build. I painted my whole driveline almost a candy red, engine, trans, driveshaft, and the diff housing. Came out amazing! Your doing amazing work too and it’s coming together so quickly!

I subscribed to your thread over there. That car is going to be outstanding!!
I have 345's coming in next week. Hoping they fit!! I haven't fully measured yet, but yeah, that 6.5" offset sounds pretty close just from the loose measuring I did.
