These are not mine. But if I were to change the wheels on my 71 coupe, THESE are what I want. VERY cool!

I was thinking of the cyclone 11 I thinkb it gives the car a sinister look to it. Because I might go with a black cherry paint job.

Thanks, these came on the car when I bought it.
I thought for sure I'd replace them with Ralley wheels, but they kind of grew on me.
