Default Optional wheels for a 240

Hey all,

Several months ago I purchased a very nice 1990 240 for my daughter and she has now relinquished it back to me in favor of a newer vehicle. I really like the car I thought I'd spruce it up with another set of wheels and maybe a stiffer suspension setup but am not sure what options are out there. I am partial to the look of the turbo-style wheels and the old classic-style ones with the stainless hubcap and trim rings. Any ideas ? pics would be great !!

Thanks

try a pair of rims out of an 850 T, if your paint is good, do a slight tint on the windows. Not too much tint....I have a daughter too. he he

try a pair from a 740 turbo...they are not the five spoke but the ones that look like turbines...

So the 740 and 850 wheels will fit ?. That gives me a few more choices then. I was looking at a set of these: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...rw=&vid=002240 price is right but they look a little too "tuner" for my tastes. My first choice would be a set of the Virgo 5-spoke wheels if I could find a nice set.

Thanks Redbottle.
