the 2nd rim you posted looks like the tuned series from boyd. those are sweet. the 1st one is decent, but it might help to see a photoshop or something.

I think they'd look pretty good, there's enough lip to still maintain the "muscle car" feel. And it also doesn't have WAY too many spokes. The 10-spoke is laid out as if it were just 5 implied spokes.

I like the design of both rims. I do not know how good they would look on your car, however, if the inner sections were painted a dark grey or black I would love them.
