I like the original slotted alloy wheels. I just polish them up every year.

I don't know what your emissions laws allow in AL, but if you can, I HIGHLY recommended switching your '80 to full length headers ahd true dual exhaust with custom bent pipes, with or without catalytic converters, and high flow mufflers. That heads-back system made a HUGE performance difference on my '80. I made a small modification to the front cross member to get some ground clearance on the driver side.

Here are some pics of my setup:

I can't come up with pics, but check out Coys wheels. Eventually I'll have a set of gray ones on my '80.

As for the exhaust, if you can get away with the full length headers and dual exhaust, by all means, do it. Don't do it without a balance pipe (H-pipe) or an X-Pipe.
