Opinions: Which rims for a black car?
What do you guys think of these GT3 style wheels:
BLACK:  SILVER:  I can only get them in 8" front and 10" rear, but I plan to use a 1" spacer on the rears to push them out more. Not too far out so it scrapes under the arches and causes the paint to heat and flake off  Offsets: Front 42mm / Rear 47mm I don't want to go too wide on the front because it makes the steering feel heavier, especially on these pre-89's that have no power steering. |

3-piece RH rims
These RH 3 piece rims are my favorite
 This is not my car, but one of the best looking wheel sets on a black car I've ever seen. RC

You tell me, I'm somewhat biased ...

On the rear you are going to run a 1 inch spacer and the factory 28mm rear spacer together?? Not a wise move. They will still be tucked in a bit.
You will need a spacer on the front too, depending on the year of your car it could be a big one too. Why not get some wheels that fit?

I have 9" fronts, and can honestly say it makes no significant difference in parking lot-speed handling. It's not any heavier. At speed, I can't feel any difference.
