18x8 front 20x10 rear

I'll be keeping it red w/ black stripe for at least a couple of years.
I do however plan to repaint it some other color as soon as money allows.
No matter what color I paint it, I will make sure that the BLACK wheels will still match.

Thanks,

Thanks again Allkar for this example of Black Fuel
That is SO your wheel right there man ...looks awesome to me!
As I mentioned,as much as I like the Rated-X wheels,they look too busy on your bodystyle,JMHO.The meaty 5-spoke Fuel's will give you that muscular look and accent your car perfectly.

Did you "borrow" those off my Chevelle like I suggested,they look like my wheels.

Those are SICK wheels, which is making my decision even tougher…..

Yes, those are off your Chevelle, Nice car BTW.

I thought so ...that was before I switched to color-matched center caps.

I'm pretty much down to these 2 wheels.....
Livewire & Rated-X

Here is the tally including Pro-Touring, Lateral-G & Family
Since I’ve decided I like the Livewire, I put all other 5 spoke (Fuel & Super Spoke) votes in the Livewire tally.

Totaled votes:
Livewire (Black) = 8
Rated-X (Black) = 13
Rated-X (Smoked) = 3
================
Total Rated-X = 16

That is an average of Rated-X 2:1 over Livewire.

Now, let me tell you these 2 rims were my original 2 favorites, but……
…… but…… but, I must say that the Livewire is my very 1st original vision of what I wanted before I ever seen the Rated-X.
I am so torn. I love both of these wheels so much. They give the car totally different looks bc they are 2 totally different styles.
There is a part of me that wants to go against the popular vote & get the Livewires but, I really do want what wheel looks best on my car so, if the majority of the people think the Rated-X looks best then maybe that’s what I should get.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in helping me with this.

Stressed out,

Your car,your credit card,ultimately YOUR decision...what does your gut tell you to do Chris?

Personally,I still think that the Fuel wheel compliments your particular bodystyle better IMHO but hey...that's just me.
