But with regards to the wheels I personally am not a fan of the chrome, however you have a black car and black and chrome looks pretty nice.
On the issue with the lip, I think that the way our wheels are concave with no lip give them a larger and more aggressive stance which complement the retro look of our cars. The deeper dish wheels tend not to really look that good (IMO) because they don’t complement the lines as much. The mandrus are the best that I have seen which have a lip and I somewhat like the fact that the front looks less deep dish than the rear, but I do want to see these in person.
The final thought is on the spokes. 5 spoke wheels are a classy standard for most cars but I have not found any that really complement our cars hence my inability to pick one of your options. These cars really demand more spokes and well I cannot put my finger on it but a special kind of wheel.
Unfortunately we don’t have many options out there!
You seem pretty particular so I thought I would share a few or my thoughts…
