Default wheels

For my '68 gt500 clone I have choosen a couple syles of wheels. I personally like them both just as much, but which do you like? If none which ones do you recommend?

Here are some team III wheels. These are the wheels that we had on our FFR daytona coupe. I loved how the looked, and also how they had the look of a real knock-off by hiding the lugs under the cap:







The other style of wheels I liked were the original 10 spoke styled GT500 wheels:





I also had the time to paint my calipers, and I thought the rotors would look good too. We will see how they look when they are all on. (The color is red.)

For the team III wheels price matters on size and how much of the wheel is chromed/painted. So somewhere in the ranges of $250each - $380each.

I like the old school Shelby wheels. The others are too flat (for lack of a better term).
