And if you get tired of the look, you can paint the spokes body color...

Another vote for #2 because I too like the "old school" look.

Depends on the color of your car. I would go with #1 on mine.

I dig #2 also. They remind me of the American Racing with a new flare. A little more edgy w/ the sharp edges, but still old school theme. Post pics once you get things together.

#2 is the one to go with, I'm thinking about some newer rims also, can you post a picture when you get them so we can see how they look, oh, and what size tires you goin with?

#2. I went with gray spokes on mine. I stayed away from all chrome or all polished just because mine is not a chrome bumper, mirror car. But those are both nice looking.
