Check before you buy, the ones listed are a Ford bolt pattern. You need a 5 on 4 3/4" BC.

The main reason I was curious is because they favor the stock wheels that are my 80

I like the look of the stock alum wheels and mine are in good shape so I'm not spending any money on wheels....too many other things that I need to do to the car. If mine weren't in good shape, I'd definately want to see these in person. On the right car they should look sharp.

In my opinion, they have the appearance of what you'd expect for a stock wheel than some of the other wheels that I have seen people put on their C3s.

If you go with them post some pics of them on the car for us to see.

They should be on an orange Dodge Charger with "01" painted on the door!

Obviously, most of us have seen these before. I'm surprised that the version you provided the link for are not offered in more sizes for those who want a traditional or retro look but with modern style. This seems to be the popular trend for a ton of manufacturers. The Torque Thrust and many other designs are prime examples, an old school style offered in 16, 17, 18, 19, 20... inch diameters. I say it's a nice looking wheel if you like the style. A lot of people will just think it's an old style. It's your opinion that really counts.

I kinda like the Vector/Hurricane style wheels. My car has some oddball ARs that I found at Gruhala's parts yard, AR has never sent me an answer saying what exactly they are.
