i dont think it would look nice. wouldbe a clash of a mid age car with nostalgic wheels, never a good combo.

keep the ones you got. They look better than both of your choices IMO...

the second ones if it were my choice. ive seen a royal blue iroc with black chrome torq thrusts and it looked legit, mid age car withclassic styling.

I LOVE torq thrusts, but for a 17 kid, there price makes them not an option, id like to spend no more than 400, gotta start spending on some performance once i got the wheels and weatherstripping taken care of...

if youd rather have performance parts, then just keep the wheels and tires you have for now. youll end up using those tires up, which would be better to do. if you truly dont like them, then go ahead and buy some new rims and tires, but the keep the old ones for burnouts and then some sticky drag tires

the thing is the tires are dry rotted to hell, so i need new tires, and would like new wheels, i just dont want to spend1k on the wheels so ill have more money for performance, im not trying to make drag racer so im going to make sure it looks good, before i do the performance, and with the 305 its got some power and is good enough for now, its snowy here anyway so dont really need the power
