well it looks like we're gonna desicrate the whole car haha. i'm not sure if i wanna paint the rims or not. i was thinking of maybe polished faces with non-polished inner triangles. i don't know we'll see- i'm not even there yet. gotta get the engine home and install it...
I know we should be shot of course you're worse since your is a 400/4 speed...haha

hmmmm, nah not for me. i don't care for the newer style look. i like the classic styles but something that would look period correct for my year. don't get me wrong, there are some newer styles i like. some of the wheels by CCW i liked, but i keep going back to those big snowflakes haha

You should look into the Billet Ralley II wheels.  I think those would look pretty sweet on your car.  Also check into the New Gen five-hundred wheel, which can be ordered any way you want with custom backspacing to fit your needs.
