What to choose...

Hello all,

I recently acquired a 71' ford 250 with a 69' mercury marauder interceptor in it unfortunately it threw a rod and the block is toast. But that's not my question I would like the general opinion of what aftermarket wheels look best on it. It is an off white truck with a green interior which I will eventually replace with some black pieces. (seat, dash) tell me what you think!

Thanks
-carguy91

Brady brings up a good question. Are you going to keep the truck wheel bolt pattern or are you going to lower the truck with the C/V front end? And a lowering rear suspension. That would require car bolt pattern and different wheels.
