I just searched for other Elite wheels, and have come to the conclusion that they all look like crap.

Hey, that photo came from my neighbor's website....thewheelconnection.com

I recognized his logo in the pic...he sells all over the world. I'll have to ask him what those get ordered for most.

I think they might be cool...it is a five spoke...I mean heaven forbid you should do anything but vette wheels or ttII's....

Bro you got a nice SOM colored T/A there, don't ruin it with those rims. You are better of with more muscular looking rims, remember you have a muscle car. However it is "your" car and "your" money so you get to do whatever you like to it. If you really like the wheels then f**k it just go ahead and get them. Fix it up the way you like it. Later if you decide you don't like them anymore you can always sell them on Ebay and get something else .
