Opinions please 72' Plymouth Scamp

[Scruggs67]

First off forgive me if I stole and manipulated a picture of your car. This was a green Scamp I found online. Secondly please forgive my crude photoshop skills. Size, angle, gloss, ect. might be off along with a bunch of other things. Bumpers will either be car color or black, all chrome trim will also be black, none of this was changed in photoshop.
A little about the build/car first; pro touring, lowered, built for handling, 5.7 hemi with 6 speed manual. I still have a ways, a really long ways, to go but need to get the wheels sorted out. These are the three I'm looking at, Cragar Elimators, Sahara Baja wheels(truck wheels), TSW Valencias. The size I'm looking at are 17x8s all around. Which ones do you like?




Cragars I worry will be the only chrome contrast on the car and might look slightly out of place with everything being dark. Also I think they might take away from the pro touring look a little.



Truck wheels, well they are truck wheels I worry they might look too thick and bulky, might have to go without center caps on these as they are very(4x4) looking.



Valencia I worry that these look too new and too japanese for a mopar, also slightly worried about the offset, they are 17x8's plus 20. I know I could use spacers to make up the difference but not sure if its worth it for these wheels.

what is the white outline on the top of the car? I like the last picture

You know, I have to say they all look good.

[justincat]

the last one takes my vote, but all look good

White outline is what is refered to as a crappy photoshop. Thanks all for the comments, I dont think I can handle going with the bottom ones. They just arent sitting right with me as far as the body style goes. I'm having issues with the shape of the second ones. I think I need to find some that look about like the cragars but in black

Valencias have the best chance at fitting and look good.

IMO, the Cragars look best of the three you posted. They actually have a contrasting color, which is a nice offset. I personally do not care for all black wheels, especially on darker colored cars. They blend into everything too much and make the tires look like blobs. The truck wheels, well, they are truck wheels. They are steel, and they are heavy. Not only do they look "bleh", they will handle like "bleh". The Valencia's would look killer if they had a polished lip. These type of mesh wheels are the competition standard on a lot of cars and have been for the last couple of decades because they are light, strong, and vent well.

I also like the Cragars the best, I also agree that it does take away from the pro touring look.
Also Cragar makes a wheel that looks like the truck wheel, its called the soft 8

Well I just deleted all the pictures from my photobucket, sorry. I forgot I had them linked and would need to keep them. The truck wheels were an alloy wheel and lighter but thats besides the point now. I agreed that it needed a little contrast and went with these instead. Maybe not completly a pro touring look but I think they fit the car a lot better than the others did. Front 17x8 245/45/17 Rear 17x9 255/50/17 18's IMO just look too big on this car, plus I wanted to keep a little meat on them. I 've heard the Nitto INVOs have a pretty strong sidewall so I'm hoping it makes up for the extra meat. This is about as big as I can go without relocating the springs to the inside or going with a 4 link. I'll cross that bridge later on.
