Gunmetal centered Forgeline WC3's...

The darker centers would give the car a more modern look and set it apart from the other Elenore cars.

Then again I'm biased.. lol

Sorta like this (different model)


Would run you close to budget though..

the wheels might of photographed well. thier 17s and not in the best shape. the car now has the air-ride airbar in it and aftermarket front stub with shockwaves and rack and pinion. rims can always be changed, if the car ever gets sold im sure they will go with it.

Steve's Forgeline suggestion would look bitchin' on any car and those are very sweet rims but Bonspeed makes a spin off of the Shelby rim you have in various diameters that would make for a cool update and still look familiar.
Slow Nova is right, gotta change it up as there are getting to be a handful of Eleanor cars everywhere you go and a new set of shoes and an Air Bar would change it up a lot.
Just my $.02

Budnik flat lipped GTXs with gray powder coated centers would up date the car and keep close to the original theme. Gassers would probably work also.

see thats the thing, i don't think a multi spoke rim will work on the car. and im not so sure i want to do something that looks like it already has. i think a black center or even body color center rim would look really good on the car. if someone wants to chop a multi spoke rim on there feel free, or show me a pic of one with them. thanks

Damn with all the wheels you guys have access to I would think this decision should be a piece of cake? Does Bat-30 even care what wheels are on the car?

Good idea, I would go with the darker centers (body color) black seems to have been done too much already, like steve said it would give that more modern look. How does it sit now with air bar? Should be a hundred times better!!!
