Iceokie, I like all but the 1st one. I don't care much for the "new style" wheels on the older cars. I have Lancers on mine (front) with skirts on the rear  and being lowered can't see that much of the wheel so I just put on chrome trim rings. I vote for any of the last 3. Years ago I saw a picture of a 50's car don't remember what it was but from one side it had skirts and bar type hub caps, then on the other side just painted wheels. same car two different looks depending on which side you were on...Yours is looking good.

I like #4.  The car looks awesome just like it is.  I like the '50's ol' school custom look.  Guess it's my age.w00t

Either 3 or 4. I agree with a comment about the first picture and the second is too plain.



Really sharp car.

#4 looks best. Unless of course you decide to lose the continental kit, skirts & lake pipes (dummy spots too?). THEN, the American-style mags with blackwall tires would be the tasteful way to go.

See what happens when you ask opinions. We all have different tastes. Go with your gut. If you then don't like it, change it.

I am old school as well by the way, but you have got enough opinions
