Re: Opinions On which wheels i should get

Option 1 seems like the better choice if you ask me. I am not really a fan of the 5 spokes much anymore...if it has spokes, it needs to be 6 or more. :P

I vote for option one as well... they're similar to
the wheels I bought for my 86 Wagon.

I agree, the first one is the best. That's also pretty similar to the wheels I got on my car, click on the link in my sig. Their American Racing though, which only cost me $400 for all four. Mine are only 15", which saves me money on tires, keeps the wear and tear down on my suspension, and keeps my speedometer fairly accurate. If I were going to restore the car and just drive it on weekends, then I'd probably opt for 17".

I got them at Sears, but there's a lot of places that carry them like NTB, and usually local stores that sell tires. They can order just about anything, so if you don't see them, just ask and they can hook you up.

Yeah, it was around $400 for everything, the wheels, the caps, the lugs, and the wheel locks. They also put them on for free. I believe they were running a special at the time.

I got them back in Sep. 2001 and I unfortunately I think American Racing stopped making them. They're called the Vortec Series 07, but they're not listed on their website anymore. They have a newer wheel that's similar looking, it's called the X-Comp Series 83. I'd look into them if you can't get the Vortec's, they're probably around the same price.
