16 inch wheels, black centers, white lip on a 1st gen: does that look "work"?

I've been seeing these wheels lately showing up on Audis and Prosches, and as I've got a bright ibis white 85 FB I was thinking they might look pretty good on it.

But I don't want to look like a tuner or too "inappropriate" for the style of car.

The other question is sourcing: I haven't seen this combination available, and not even sure of the best manufacturers to consider.

Apologies if there is a better Sticky link out there on the forum to look, or another thread I should be posting to.

Thanks!




This is a design I would like to actually put on my 1st gen

I like the style, but the sidewall is way to small.

Yeah, definitely for these. I think they're 17s or 18s; I have 15s currently, and hope that 16s will still look ok.

In my opinion, the look is a bit too modern for a 1st-gen, but do whatever floats your boat. Your car; your rules.
