I wanted something different that you don't see everyday and these fit the bill perfectly plus they weren't overly expensive and they went well with what I want for the car. Although its not much to look at now, I have a lot of really extensive plans for the car and Cobra Rs would not fit well with it IMO. They're a very cheap looking wheel to me, if you get what I'm saying. I think they look good on that 69 and I've seen them on a few other classics and they look good, they're just not the style I'm shooting for.
