I think our cars would look pretty good side-by-side, huh Mak?

Terrific

Love the wheel choice! Very clean and they just look "right".

I have a love-hate relationship with mine...some days I feel they are perfect for the car, some days I want to put steel wheels and hub caps, some days I think something like a torque-thrust would look good.

Either way, I would love it if they didn't rub when turning the car sharply...

Thanks Much! I was really worried about about the 255's rubbing up front... but I'm happy to report that after quite a few longs drives they haven't rubbed once (and I've tried!)
As far as your love/hate relationship... I love em! I think they really compliment your car, but I really dig the old-school, retro look... especially on 'verts and more stock looking cars (like mine). That's not to say I don't really like the newer style wheels on some of the guys cars here... if the cars going in that direction, it can really work... it just doesn't look right to have over-sized, modern looking wheels on an otherwise stock, classic car IMO (like mine used to have.)
I'm much happier with the new look...
