My car came with wires when I bought it back in the 80's. Hated them, but they grew on me. Changed to Rallys when I just got tired of cleaning the wires on a daily driver. Wires became special occasion wheels.

I had intended on straight spoke Torque Thrusts this time around, but they (or some sort of TT knockoff) seem to be on everything these days.

Vectors or Cyclones are starting to look good again.

They are really right for your car.

I have the AM Racing 200:s for the road wheels.

I would go chrome if I didn't use car much as once they chip they are not fixable where alloy you can sand and polish out scratches and marks. Only my thoughts on chrome vs alloy

Wheels look great on everyone's car. I am partial to chrome wheels. I am probably painting my car black cherry.

Those are exactly what I want but just need to decide which finish.

Are these the same specs you got?
