i like the old Cragar or Tork Thrust look but couldn't get Cragars in the size I wanted. I saw these and they looked just like the TT but had a better price tag on them.

Nice look! what size are they? If those are original wheels, I'd get a good coat of polish on them and store them away. You may want them back some day........ ebo

I like the looks of your wheels. I put TT on mine last year and think it makes the car look more modern with those super C3 body lines! What size tires did you go with?
Oh, one last thing, I hate agreeing with Ebo (sorry Ebo), but he's probably right about holding on to your old rally wheels and trims if possible. I packed mine up in the mag boxes and stored them away. Its something that once in a while you may want to throw back on Depending on which car shows you decide to spend time at.

Best of Luck,
Rodney
