Steelies look good on some cars but, not my cup of tea.

15" Magnum 500's look great and they're cheaper than cragars or keystones. I bought mine from summit with Goodrich T/A's for around $1100. Made my 69 runner look good. 15x8's on the back, 15x7's on the front.

I thought about that too but, I don't know. I don't think it would look that great with my setup. But, that's just me.

Prowler Orange is a great color. However it is very new style looking. If you are going to attempt to pull off a color like that, you have to make the rest of the car pop. The retro rims will not cut it. In my opinion stick with the maroon and the retros or go prowler and torque thrusts. Of course if you go prowler and torque thrusts, you need to redo the interior in a nice buckskin leather and get a Viper V10 motor. That then leads to baer brakes and custom a arms with coil overs. In order to make the look work, you'll have to commit 100% in which ever direction you decide to go. Good luck, should turn out great regardless which way you choose.
