Lots of spokes, chrome lip and grey center(or black im not sure).ill sell my budnik fontana's if anybody wants to buy or trade for what im looking to get.(tell me if im doing the wrong thing and i should keep them) anybody got any ideas for this thing?Maybe a photoshop if they know some rims that are the style i want?

Thats funny. My boss' '69 has a license plate "fine 69".

I like the ones you've got on there personally. But I know how you feel about switching things up. I'll be doing the same with my iForged wheels here shortly.

Nothing wrong w/ wanting a lil bit of change.

But IMO, Im not much for the multi-spoke wheels like you've shown. Something like Z06s or Mach Vs fits (my style) better (still gives a racey look, but are MUCH easier to clean lol).

But out of what you listed, go with the Profil 13s if you're wanting that much of a change. The Drifts and FM10s just dont have a uniform look to 'em IMO. The Profil 13 would work better against the lines much better. I dont think it'll look worse then what you've already got on there...but I dig the Fontanta's

Thats b/c they look damn good

You typically see TTIIs or a more traditional straight 5 spoke wheel on a 1st gen. You rarely see a spoke design like the Fontana's on there. They really work well with what you're going for. I say it alot, but subtle mods are the key and while those wheels stand out by themselves, on the car they really just work with everything you've got so far.

I like what's on the car now. Save the cash or spend it on something else.

They have been done to death. From Chevelles, to street rods, you name it. You will never go to a car show without seeing a set or five of those.

Played out, like Z06s. Keep what you've got man! You know there won't be another one with wheels like you've got at the local show and shine.

i agree with the black powder coating on the spokes.. but i think you should get some fikse.. i mean who here has see a car they look bad on.. and if you have a 69 camaro, you probably have the money.. let us know what you go with
