I just can't decide on wheels for my Cutlass! Any ideas?

What wheels look best on an 80s Cutlass?

So I'm trying to get some wheels without spending too much money, so I'm trying to decide amongst 15x7 Pro Stars, some 15x7 Cragar SS, or some 15x7 Summit Sport Wheels (the chrome ones with 8 holes equally spaced.) I'm planning on putting white-letter BF Goodrich Radial T/As on the wheels, unless someone can suggest something cheaper with white letters...

I'm also open to any suggestions that I haven't listed...

If you want to see your car with all kinds of different rims,
go here: http://www.imaginewheel.com/index_en.php
Download ImagineWheel 3.0, sign in, then you can load a pic of your
own car and see how it looks with over 800 different rims.

From the ones you mentioned, I like Cragars myself.

Personally I've never cared for Cragar SS wheels on the G-bodies, they just look too dated. In fact, that's the problem with most aftermarket wheels- they go out of date way too fast. My silver Regal had Cragars when I bought it, and they were immediately pitched and replaced with some factory Rallye wheels. If you're in doubt, you can never go wrong with some factory wheels. You could look around for some painted 15" Olds wheels from the 70s and repaint as needed, or a set of the Chrome 15" Rallyes from a 442 G-body. Either one will look great, and at least get you by until you find something you really like.

I'd say Torq Thrust II's, but they are a bit played out. I was thinking of using them on my car to replace my 80's Enkei 92's, but they are too expensive to justify it. It's sad that such an expensive item as wheels is so damn trendy that it goes out of style with the season.
