How do you think these Cragars would look?

My buddys giving me a set of Cragar SS Rims. They need to be restored. I was considering ditching my rims and using these. I was going to restore the chrome and paint the spokes gloss black. Theyre free so if i dont like the turn out i wont use them. theyre only 14's, I know what you guys are gonna say but i just wanted some opinions on people that have a better thinking mind then i do :P My Trans Am currently has the 16 inch cross lace rims on it. I was going to get these rims and put them on 65's maybe. The rear rims are deep dish and stick out a little bit which i like. Heres a picture of the rims photoshopped with the black spokes.





Haha ill admit it looks kinda dumb but i think the Jegs model is a little off IMO. It looks fine on his camaro

What do you have on your car now? If they are stock, i would keep the current ones. I would just clean up the Cragars and sell them, because IMO they just don't look good on the 3rd gens.
