But... I also don't think sl's are completely a VIP wheel. VIP fitment, and undertones for sure. I love the way the car looks now.

I agree, they are just a 'VIP style' wheel, and your fitment only helps with the VIP-ness. I don't think it looks bad, but maybe because I'm a fan of more sportier wheels that I liked the Advans better. I like the look of a sportier tire with more meat over a stretched VIP style wheel anyday.

Looks really good. My Dad has several in various stages of completion (a V8 Rover, one with a Ford 302, a Sebring MGB GT V8 replica, a restored 4-cyl and a few others); I thought the valve covers looked familiar.

Pics don't even do it justice, in person it looked so perfect. IMO, his looked better than Terry's.

Obviously this is a subjective matter

When Chris had the advans on the car he never liked them. Chris being a wheel a whore and someone that always explored the boundries of radical fitment...the advans were simply not his style.

I personally like the advans however they are a bit bland for my tastes. If it was on a purpose built track car kinda like his white 240 u posted then I say yes all the way. But for where Chris wants to take this car (Its not even close to being finished) the Advans had to go.

They were cool on his track car but they don't fit in the grand scheme of things
