Default Rim ideas for my 73 Camaro LS1

I'm trying to figure out what to do as far as rims. I was thinking I would like the Eagle 203's on the car but not too sure I like them. Here is a photochop someone did real quick for me.




Here is the wheel.






Just doesn't look right to me.

Im in the process of trying to find something I like too for my 72. I like the TTII's but seems like every car you look at on the web has them on it.

Im kind of liking these Roh Rt's.

You can go with a set of 18s for 820 bucks. I also like the boyd Codington Smoothie IIs on the second gens.

Just about anything from wheel vintiques would look sweet. Also, you can get big diameter old school Torque Thrust Ds now, with the original argent center and machined lip. They look much better in my opinion than the modern all polished TT-2s.

I think a 5 spoke 17 would look awesome

Here's one more...

Please keep in mind I am shooting for a 10" in the rear with a 7.5" BS. The fronts I'm probably going to go for a 9" wide.

Between the Wayne Due FS and Marts RS I should have no problem fitting 9 in front and 10 out back.

i would stay away from the polished wheels with silver paint. there is a guy around here with the same paint as yours with a set of convo pros that looks good without the gaudy look.

Personally I prefer wheels that simulate the older styles. Some of the newer billet wheels belong on weirded out hot-rods, not musclecars.
