I'm not too crazy about how "open" the wheel looks with the SP500's. So, I'm voting for Classics.
What car are they going on? Got a pic?

sorry for the long link, but the 505's look pretty sweet too... the 500's are kind of bland for a trans am in my opinion

I love classics!!! There's no way they'll look bad on your car assuming you have a trans am. What color is your car???

Yeah, those are ******* sex. I wanted them, but just too expensive. If I ever upgrade or go big with my setup I will have them though.

OP since you have a black TA I would go with classics. Some shade of black centers and polished lips would be amazing. Just dont get fooled if you look at the link posted in here, the black TA with the big lips has a narrowed rear end. If your car has the stock rear the lips arent that big, one reason why I didnt get classics myself. I know most CCWs like the SP500 would have 2" front lip and 3" rear lip but not classics.
