Choices between wheels. Need help deciding.
Hey all, so I have a pretty nice issue on my hands. I've been in the market for a new set of wheels, and finally found two sets, locally, for about $200. The only issue now, is to choose which would look better on my car.
The first set are 15x7 American Vector wheels, from the 70's.
The second set are some 16x8 Iroc-Z wheels.
I've seen some pretty sweet things that could be done with the iroc wheels. I'm just on the fence on how those classic AV wheels might look on my car.
Anyone have opinions? Should I go for the bigger size and standard look, over the semi-original look?
Feel free to post pictures of your car if you have these wheels. I'd love to get a feeling on how they'd look! Thanks!

Re: Choices between wheels. Need help deciding.
IROC wheels work with any 3rd gen, same as the TA crosslaces. But tire selection has been declining in recent years, a few years from now you may have only 1 tire choice.
Any 70's style wheels on a 3rd gen is iffy now - maybe back in 1984 when there weren't many choices, but now is a different story. 15" has decent selection, but don't expect to get modern performance tires in that diameter.
