It's pretty hard to beat the look of American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on most any classic car.
I bought a 67 326 HO Firebird in 1969, that had a set already installed. I kept those wheels for 10 years, and transferred them from car to car. American quit making them for a period, and came out with the 200S wheels, which I also owned 3 sets of. Not quite the same, but still a very nice looking wheel too.
They're also very strong, I hit an 8 inch curb surrounding the end of a boulevard trying to avoid a senior driver that pulled out in front of me from a side street, one Sunday afternoon. I blew 3 tires out but didn't damage the wheels at all. Considering they were aluminum wheels I thought they'd break, but nary a problem with any of them.
