For your car, Salt Flats all the way. More in tune with the overall look.

Not my fave, but I think the bonny type wheel would suit the look Phillip is trying for.

none of them would be my choice!!! Sorry but I like the classic look of 'torque Thrust D's" or Cragar S/S either one looks good on just about anything!! other choice would be "baby moons & trim rings"

How about some VN507's in 17 x 8,

They actually look to be less expensive than the Bonny style VN511 wheels, but a little more expensive than the 501's in 17".

Yes! They have the shiny polished surfaces that accent them more. Spinners look mean.
