You're car, you're money, you're choice. If you like the Fuchs, rock em. Do what makes you happy and what you like.

Gas burners detailed with some black accents will look awesome on that color car.

But your car your choice

The Gasburners are so unusual (and light), I would go with them. But don't sell the Fuchs

The Gasburners looks the part for that model. Still, esthetically, Fuchs are hard to beat.

I voted Fuchs, but I must say the gasburners painted look quite good. I still think Fuchs, though.

Fuchs. But you will get good money when you sell the gasburners. They are quite valuable.

Gas Burners. Be somebody.

Like Mikez said, if you can't decide, get some fuchs and switch 'em out depending on your mood.

I just can't see getting rid of the unique original wheels that have managed to stay with the car for so long. The black targa shows you what some cleanup an do for them.

If you are really aching to try something different then at least, as has been suggested, save them and swap them back and forth.
