I think those wheels are alright, but in my own opinion, I like wheels with a little lip to them, more in the back....some depth so to speak. In the end, you need to get what you like and what fits your own taste in the wheels.

I think you should keep the front wheels you already have, and grab a pair of wider/deeper rears to match, and call it a day. The wheels you have are somewhat unique to these cars, and you're not doing what's already been done by others.

I just need to find a pair of 10" rears to match my fronts.  Problem is thatI don't know exactly what my fronts are!!!  They look like Minilites but there are a pile of variations on those andif they did not match exactly it would bother me.
