Default Which would you do?

I have saved a few bucks and considering some new goodies for my 85 GT.
First option is a new set of Weld Alumastar 2.0's for the front. These are a thinner spoke and alot lighter than the standard Alumastars I have now...



Second option is a 4" cowl hood to replace my 2" cowl I have now. By doing this, not only will it look more aggressive...but it will allow me to run an air cleaner...



Finally, I was thinking if I do the hood...I might like to do the factory 85-86 good decal in charcoal black...



There ya have guys and gals. Let's hear what ya think...
THANKS

Same here.

The wheels, they're not gonna be light enough compared to the current ones to make a noticable difference.

I'm not a fan of 4" cowls, so I'd say the rims. Plus the 2" cowl looks fine.
