Default looking for ideas on rims! for Plain Jane

I posted this other places but I really want your guys input

2014 is around the corner and my car will probably be updated with new paint and the rims on Jane have out lived there usefulness, I originally bought them from Coys, and then they discontinued the style ( I know there sold by other companies now) but I think I want a more race designed rim I just not sure what, suggestion anyone?

heres Jane now

I like these, but they might be too clunky and vintage looking for you. They are probably also expensive. I didn't see a price, or look for one either ...

I think your ride needs a set of Forgeline's. Meh, matters the cost....just do it.

Check out the new Weld RTS or GTS wheels. They are lightweight and have some sweet designs. I liked the RTS74 like Chris Jacobs runs on his Chevelle pictured on the site but the new designs are pretty kicka$$. Plus, its different than all the other wheels on most cars at events.

Check them out in the link below.

I'd consider a version of the mini-lites for yours.... what about Team III? They are local and reasonably priced and I think would fit your car's mojo nicely.
