SP20's would look pretty good and you'll have something unique that others don't have. I would also suggest having the wheels chromed because polishing those would be a pisser.

Anyone have pics of the SP20s? I don't like the 505a wheel. I don't think it looks that good and it's overdone.

Out of those choices, 505A.

But the SP500 is still the best.

Well the good news is that nomatter which you choose, they are all badass wheels. IMO however, I would go with the classics in black because I just think that would look GREAT on a white car.

Another vote for the sp500s. Of your three choices, I'd go 20>505>classic.

Doh, I didnt notice the silver stripes. You're right, black probably wouldnt go too well. In that case I would go with the 505A's.

Yes, they are a bitch to keep clean to answer one of your prior questions. Thank you for the compliment as well and sorry it took me a while to respond, I am not on here frequently. Hiding the wires takes some time and patience. There is a write up in the appearance hall of fame sticky thread on how to hide the passenger fenderwell ones. The others are pretty easy really.
