Here some picture of Slots on my car. I suppose they look okay. I've been thinking about Supertricks lately or some Cragar SS.
Why don't ya polish them, it really makes them stand out. Then add some tires with the white letters showing. That would look sweet with that white stripe down the side.
  Your car looks sharp!!! Hopefully someday mine will look like that.

How do I polish them out more? Also, I've been thinking of sticking some Bf Goodrich tires on there anyways. First, I have to get a few other things fixed then it will all be good. Thanks for the comments though. It's not perfect because what you can't see is the rock chips at the bottom of the quarters/rockers/front fenders.

 The best way is to have your rims polished by a pro, they will come back looking like chrome!!!
 Also if your looking for BFG's check out the tirerack online, they have good prices and deliver very quickly. http://www.tirerack.com

I agree the slotted rims look cool.  When we bought Pink Ice she had slotted rims too.  I also really like the Keystone Classics.  We had a 1970 Top Banana (Yellow) T/A Challenger years ago and it had the Keystone Classics on it.

Not the best pic, but here is the rear wheel on my RR after I took a little of "Mother's" aluminum polished to it, just hand buffed it with a soft cloth!!

I do think the slots look better on darker colored cars.
