Very nice car. Well not what you asked but I'm not crazy about either choise. I think your car would look great with a set of "old school" 5 spokes like A/R TT or ET Classics with the spokes done in a magnesium color finish
That would go great with the color of your car and look period correct.

The nice thing about trying out wheels and tires you already have is you can always just change them back if you want. I've got tires for the new ones too.
Sometimes you just need a change. Like girlfriends!
P.S.: that picture sucks because the turbine looks bigger (ghetto) because it's in front of the actual wheel, (they are the same size) and the car is parked up hill in my driveway....gives it a slope look with huge wheelwells which is not the way it looks in reality....

When I saw the pic...my eyes immediately went to the front ...so Turbines would be my choice if I had to choose between the two.

To answer your question and you must pick between just these two examples, I would go with the 66 ralleys, the turbines look to busy for me. BTW, you have a gorgeous car, don't screw it up with those turbines.lol

Did some more screwing around with photoshop to see what the whole car would look like. Again Excuse the rough edges. Looks better when you can see the whole thing......
wheels are at the re-finishers for blasting old paint off....

Wheels.
In the end, I know I'll do what I think is nicest, but I'm curious about what you guys think. Excuse the photo-shop mock up, but what do you like the front or the back. The front is one of the set I got last winter. Z28 7in. turbines. The old ones are 7in rally's with 66 caps. :
My favorite is American Mags with knockoffs....but that's me.BILL.

Well since others beat me to the suggestion of putting the lady in your avatar in the pass seat I will suggest Turbines on the right side, 64 wheel covers on the left side.
The photo with wheel covers looks better than I thought it would, but I prefer the turbines.
