Actually, I think the Rally wheels would look best on a black car with sidepipes...IF it has raised white letter tires. The redlines look great, but only with the P02's; and the P02's don't really go well with the sidepipes.

Anyway, a bada$$ black C3 with sidepipes deserves Rallys with RWL tires. But, the alloy wheels look good on it too.

I usually prefer the slotted aluminum vette wheels with RWL tires.I'm liking those alloys with the red calipers,side pipes and black paint.
Really nice look....

Thanks for the comments guys .I got the P02s on fleabay for $25 dollars each and refurbished them .Some one could have told me it would take about 50 hrs with sanding, polishing and painting There is 72 lines on each p02 that had to be masked up x4 wheels =288 before painting.

Thanks jr9170. I thought I will get some new end caps but at $60 dollars each I ended up buying another set of P02s that had good caps for $250 plus postage.

I love all 3 wheel combinations nice to be able to change the look of the car with your 3 wheel/tire options - Damn, that is one sweet ride BK3

nother vote for the rallies with white letter tires.
I saw a few sets of the PO2s at the Turkey run in Daytona, but I picked up a set of trim rings for the rallies I already have.

Ive never been a big fan of the PO2's they sort of look like POS instead.
The rally wheels look very nice but they need raised white letter tires. The Redlines don't do them justice.
Now, the alloy wheels make that car look Nice!

I vote for the PO2's. Nice restoration. The fined lines of the PO2's compliment the look of the side pipes.

Hi Sug,
Rallys.
Nice work on the hubcaps!
Did the price include the 4 chairs too?
The way they're lined up near the pool the caps look like they're "working on their tans" !
Regards,
Alan

I agree with Blue73Shark - black, side pipes and PO2s is a real nice combination. I don't think I would be saying that if the car was a different color or did not have side pipes.

Do not like the alloy wheels at all.
