I feel you pain but did you intend to post this in the wheel and tire combo thread?

Great choice on a very high end set of wheels.
You have taken a little different approach on modifying your car than most. It nice to see fresh ideas. Great job and nice color too.

The Minilite look is timeless and looks great on a chrome bumper C3.

Pretty car, my favorite year. Wheels look great, I will just stay with my 15" Zenith wire knock-offs. Of course I have had them on my '69 since 1980

Look good to me, and I normally prefer a less modern style on c3's. I quite like those.

That's a beautiful car looks great with those wheel and tires. I was thinking about the 18in in the back wheel but I wanted to be able to rotate them from time to time. your wheels and tires full that space nicely, mine on the other hand theres a little difference. I got the 17x8 245-45-17 tire. Enjoy
