Of the two in the OP, I like the second best myself. 15" Cragar SS's never looked right on a C3 to my eye, not sure why. I like the 17" Hopsters a lot.

A previous owner put Ansen Sprint style 15"ers on my '81.

I'd have to pick the Cragar from the two choices given. Personally I prefer others though.......

I like the cragars but they've grown old for me. Your second choice works for me. The hopster pic looks great.
