Default need opinions on wheels

I want to have a vintage '66 fastbacklook, but still of a new and aggressive edge. Please help me by choosing a style, finish, and size. Thanks in advance.

I vote 18" DD bullitts with 295/45/18's in back and either 255/45/18 or 275/40/18's up front.

This is mine...

Ditto, I picked DD Bullits, but I mean in the chrome finish, so I wasn't sure which one to pick.

Can't get more vintage than Torq Thrust classics!

Ya if your into the old look as I do (I'm old too) then the Bullitts are great. There are many brands that look nice. But I don't think the 20" type give the look.17-18" still have a nice sidewall height and better driving comfort. Head down to a Tire store and look at the wheels they have and the catalogs they got. But tell them right off your in the looking stage or they might push something on you that you don't really want. I always get a better treatment that way.

Iput onthe Nitrous. That is my taste. It looks old school mixed with todays times. After all, we bought a modern day car with a retro look to it so you could get a modern size (20") with a retro look to it and look great.

Keep in mind the bigger the wheel the more power it takes to turn it. Nothing wrong with a V6 but unless youre blown and dont have to worry about it, huge wheels will only slow you down.. alot. 20" wheels look nice, but for the "old school" look, go smaller. Id say 18s or even 17s with a big sidewall. Not to mention the increased comfort and power youll gain by having more tire and less rim.
