wheels tires make a big difference.
Knowing what everyone knows about "Opinions." [That I shall elect not to repeat.]
You asked for feed back, so here is my 2 cents.
Mine opinion is [IMHO] wheels/tires make a great deal of difference in the appearance of your new ride.
Once again "I" like black wall tires or raised white letter tires with SSII or III wheels.
Having said that, 15" "bolt on center cap" type Olds wheels are getting expensive. The snap on center wheels in 15 " are easier to find and cheaper.
Once again "I" don't care for the body colored SS III as much as the argent grey/silver SSII.
So if it were my car [which obviously it isn't] I would try to get the "most bang for the buck" and find some used 15" SS III wheels with the less desirable and less expensive "snap on Center caps" clean ' em up, remove the chrome and polish it. paint em up argent [with no clear coat.] and at least turn those white walls tires around.
It's a easy job and not a very expensive one. [I am assuming here you are on a budget or soon will be on one, or your wife/girlfriend/significant other will soon put you on one]
But seriously, what you should do first is read, read, read and look at as many similiar cars as you can find and say to yourself, "Hey that looks good, I like that, that's what I wanta do."
Like the lady said after she kissed the cow,
"It's all a matter of taste"
