Default Opinions requested.

Hi everyone, it's getting close to the time for new tires, and time to lose the stock wheels as well. I've been debating on either getting a set of chrome wheels that resemble anything close to a Cragar SS or or the American Racing Aero, or if I should go for the more modern aproach and get some kind of machined wheel preferably with some kind of red accenting. Any ideas or opinions? Thanks!

tirerack.com, select a set of wheels and do "view on vehicle" to see what you might like......

For the chrome field, something along those lines. For the machined wheels, I like how vibrant the red is on these wheels, but I'm stuck between deciding if something like this is too juvenile or not.

I don't like the look of the style of the chrome wheels on our style monte. Just my opinion. What color is your monte?

Imo stay away from crome. Like turbo said it doesnt look good. Do either a gun metal grey color or black or aluminum.
