My .02!

I like them both! LOL!

I think it really comes down to the look that you're going for! #1 is a more euro/now kind of look whereas #2 is a more classic look. What kind of look are you going for?

Well, I totally see what you mean, I just still have love for that 5 spoke wheel, the look im going for, would be more of a pro-touring look. I plan to do wheels, roll cage and change some stuff in the interior.

I pretty much just want to start enjoying my car, and start burning off some off that newness...if you know what I mean.

Paul, my pick is number one and here is why. almost every car has 5-spokes on them. It is refreshing to have a car with a different wheel than a 5-spoke. Second, the color and finish tie in the color and finish of the engine compartment and the underside. Those wheels would totally look cool on that ride. If you want, I will photoshop them in so you can see.

A side note, I was the freelance PHR photog that you met in Joliet this summer.

Hey Robert, Hope all is going well. Glad you joined the site!

Here is a picture of the car with a 10 spoke wheel, which looks pretty cool.



But I still dig the 5 spokes like both Scott and Jr's car's have

It doesn't matter what we think. They are both hot. Can't go to wrong either way. Never heard of DPE but nice.
