The snowflakes for sure! $50 for those is one amazing deal!
 
x2 for the snowflakes
 
Olds Rally rims on an Olds. Snowflakes only look good on the GP.
 
I had the 15x7s Snowflakes on my 83 GP.

A word of caution - the offset was a little off in the front - the outer lip of the upper a-arm rubbed the inside of the rim under certain conditions. I had to use a thin spacer for clearance (3/16" as I recall). If you decide to go with Snowflakes you might want to check this before spending money on new tires.
 
I really like snowflakes, but prefer the Olds Rallye's on your car 🙂

Ditto - I had 80/81 Z28 wheels (same size/offset as the snowflakes) on my Monte for a while and had to run 5/16" spacers. They have 1/2" deeper backspacing compared to a stock Monte 15x7 wheel.
