Above is a link my my car. It's a custom 69 Firebird coupe with 2-tone paint and lots of suspension and drivetrain upgrades. I threw some cheap wheels on it to get it on the road, but am contemplating the "right" wheel. Opinions?
What would be the "right" wheel for this car?
Thanks.

It's come to my attention that some may confuse me with another user going by the name Coronado Gold....well we are 2 different people and I am only providing links to my own car.
It has taken me over 5 years to get it to the point it's at.
I've learned a LOT about fabrication, suspension, drivetrain, brakes, body, paint, and interior through the process so I look forward to being a useful resource in the near future.

If you don't mind staying with 14" rims, the very coolest wheels you can put on a '60s Poncho were made back in the day by Hurst. Look in some Hot Rod magazines back around '65 or so. They are hard to find, expensive, safe, strong and appreciating in value!
A new wheel I like is the Halibrand copy made by Edelbrock.
8-spoke Minilites (or copies) give a real Trans Am racer look to ponycars of this vintage.
And you can't go wrong with American Racing Torq-Thrusts (new or old style) or 200S Trans Am daisies!
