I voted for the Foose wheels. I would love to have a set of those on my 71. My wife took my Boyds and gave me her old 16" Hopsters. I bought a new set of Rallyes, but just can't bring myself to go back to old school just yet.
I'm 52 and I've owned and driven these cars since they were new. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.

I voted for the 17"s, but those 18"s wouldn't look too bad with less of an offset in the rear (I realize you already have them from the purchase, but they should have given a little better balance when it came to choosing the offset, IMO).  Good luck with your decision and either way, your car will look very cool.   One thing to take into consideration is the ride quality that'll be achieved by running a slightly smaller wheel combo. than the other.  I've heard 19"s ride rough (not much feedback on 18"s), so it may be more practical (& cheaper) for you to go with the V48s and sell the Foose wheels.

I started out with 15" tires on my 71 and it rode pretty nice. I then went to 16's and it rode rougher. Then when I went to 17's it rode real harsh compared to the original 15's. Now that we've driven the car with the 17's for a while, they don't seem as harsh. Must have gotten used to the ride quality. I've wanted to go with 18's on the back, but sort of worry if the ride quality will go downhill even further.
I wonder what it would feel like to go back to the 15's now?
