I'm kinda partial to the Vintage Wheel works V40's and V45's, I think the V40's would look great on there, fit the relatively stock/vintage style of the exterior perfectly. Not exactly a unique look, though, but not quite as common as the Torque thrusts.

Man, I really like those, but they don't make them big enough. I need a 18x12 for the rear.

thanks again guys,

SW

The Fikse FM10 is the closest thing I've seen. These would look great on that car with a gold anodized center.

With the very round bulges in the fenders and quarters, I think it is time you try some Forgeline SP3Ps. The rounded 5 spoke lends itself nicely to rounded panels.

And BTW, you have the hook up right here.
