Opinions on rims?

I need new rims for the 07 and am looking for something that has a retro look to go with the look of the car.
I came across a good deal on a set of Cragar wheels.
I thought these weren't made anymore but I guess they are.
It seems alot of 70's muscle wore these rims back in the day.

Any opinions on these? Anyone have anyother suggestions?

If you like the retro look, go for it!! Suits the S197 body style.

What size are you looking at? Its not only the style but the size that can make or break the over all look

+1 ... I would pick 18" over 20" in this case, but that's just me.

i have a set of 18's on my 2000 from american racing, the shelby series in gunmetal. in all honestly i'd rather have them on a 2005+ body style but i couldn't turn down what i got.

I'd go 19s honestly. Or 19s on rear, 18s up front. I think that would look great on your car. But if you are buying as a set, no mixing, 19s if they have them, 18s if not.

19s would be perfect, but a lot of the wheel and tire manufacturers are jumping from 18 to 20 these days. It took quite a bit of searching to find 19s that I liked to put on my T-Bird SC.

You get what you pay for. They are fun to balance at times.
