I personally hate the look of the stock rally wheels,they have to be the most boring eye sorish wheels out there..I like everything about the C3 design except these rims,so much that i bought after market one,s while it was just sitting on the frame just to avoid having to look at the factory rims...i don,t want to start a war by making this comment..i no all the traditionalists are up in arms!!!!but you did ask what people thought...At the end of the day it only matters what you think!! That,s how i built mine ,build it how you like it some will like it some won,t ...

We can certainly agree to this statement.

I'm not a purist by any means but I value and support anyone who practices an NCRS-type of vision in our sport/hobby. They maintain an important part of the history for the car and IMO, offer valued insight to the original design engineers, back in the day. Their foundation is what we all baseline from.

Fortunately, to each, their own.

To that end, I love the looks of rally wheels on C2 and C3 era cars. One of the best looks I grew up with and always plan on hanging onto the 2 sets of rallys I currently own.

Have fun, PV. I like the way your car looks now.

I'm a Hot Rod guy. Nothing I own is stock but I'll take stock Rallys any day over those "billet" ARs. Thank God that "fad" has come and gone. Major improvement. Well done!
