    The bottom ones - the lines on the spokes work well with the chrome trim.

    I also prefer the wheels in the bottom pic.
    They're more interesting and less common.

    I like them both. But the wheels in the bottom photo catch more attention. By the way, Caprice is backwards in first photo.

    thats a tough one, it looks great both ways. Personally though I think I like the bottom ones a bit better!

    Yeah it is a tough call, top would be easier to keep clean, but the bottom ones have just that little bit more s'cool about them.

    Man they both look great on that wagon...I think I would have a really hard time deciding...but the bottom ones look just a scosh better. IMO.

    Bottom ones, Rick. If the spokes on the top ones were silver instead of dark grey, I might have a different opinion. Nice wheels!

    Me too! First I choose the top wheels but the bottom really are different and fit this style well.

    I think the bottom ones suck. They are too flat and don't blend in with the general architecture of the car. The top ones do that and accentuate the rounded lines of the car.

    The decision is way too difficult. Just give the wagon to me, Rick, and you won't be faced with such a dilemma.

    Just here to help! :)

    Actually, I like wheels in the bottom photo, as they are less common.
