Default Opinions please

So I'm kinda torn between two wheel and tire setups for my '67. The first choice is 15" Cragar SS wheels with white letter tires, for an old school look. Or I might go with 17" Cragar SS or Torque Thrust II's, a cross between modern design and a classic look.
I like the way both setups look. I just want to change from the 18 inch gunmetal wheels that are on it to something that looks more appropriate on a '67 vehicle. My ears are open to opinions and other combinations that anyone might have. Here's a pic of what it looks like now (and yes I plan on lowering it to get rid of that excessive fender gap).

Haha I didnt even notice the fenders. I was pretty sure the hood wasn't from a '67. Shows what a noob to Camaros I am

But it's still a very nice looking car, and it floats your boat. That's what counts anyway!

Looks really nice! I'm with you though in that I think the car will look better lowered just a bit. I had Eaton Spring out of Detroit make me up a custom set of springs with a 2inch drop. They were very reasonable.

(wonders what your 18's would look like on mine LOL... something tells me that grey and blue don't go together though)

Are 15 inch torque thrusts available? I like the thrusts but think that the white lettering and higher profile tire will make the chrome stand out and make your car look more classic, as you said. Just my 2 cents.
