Kinesis wheels on a 71 bird

I'm going to buy some rims for my 71 firebird in the near future.
I'm probably going for the Kinesis K5. There the same price as the Fikse. Probably going for 17x9 in the front and 17x11 in the back.

Does anyone know much about these rims and how would you think the look would be. I've seen a second gen camaro with some simmons on and I thought it looked pretty nice, they look so much like each other. Maybe also thinking of getting the center 5 spokes black and the outer rim chrome.

I would like to know what you guys think before I buy them.

the car will also be the color silver pewter hopefully in less then a year.

Thanks peeps WWW.KinesisMotorsport.com

Ill have some K20s (or similar) on my 67 one day. I love that look on any car. K5s on a 2nd gen would be good stuff IMO, but I havent seen it.

Those look sharp. Where are you ordering them from and how much do they cost?

Truthfully, I don't know where I'm going to order them from, I just have to find a place I guess. The price, I'm thinking anywhere around the price of some fikse, about three grand, give or take. I have a little over three grand saved up to spend for now. I was also thinking of going for some torgue thrust II, 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the back. That'll probably save me some money and I could get my interiour repolsterd. There's no rips in the interiour but I want to go black inside instead of the brown color it has now. I just don't want to get something and regret it later on down the road. time will tell me.
