I'm getting way ahead of my self because my car won't be on the road for a few years, but I'm wondering if anyone has pics of white vinyl top 2nd gen with vector wheels. Mine's going back to its original Q5/white top colors, but I'm wondering if vectors would look good. Part of me thinks that vectors and vinyl tops dont' really work well (magnum 500s would be better?), but I'm not sure.

Anyways, if you got pics you don't mind posting, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers

I don't have a real picture, but until you can find one, here is a quick Photoshop with Vectors on the rear and Magnum 500s on the front:

That works well because of the black vinyl...But I'm wondering about white vinyl with Q5 turquoise...which is what mine will be.

The Magnums will set off the Q5 & white combo very nicely.  :yesnod:  :drool5:

Vector wheels make me think GL, Q5 with white top make me think classic.  Nothing wrong with either, but different nonetheless.

I think the vector will look good because it's a good looking wheel, regardless of its association.  How about painting the vector something else than satin black?  Silver maybe with polished lip and spokes?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Hmmmm....maybe the anthracite versions (also available) with polished spokes.

Magnum version for comparison.  :drool5:

I hate the look of Magnum 500s, but I love the look of Mopar "Road Wheels"; the trim ring makes all the difference for me.

Seeing this versus vectors rims is like choosing between my girl wearing a VS thong and grannie-panties....Magnum 500s EVERYTIME  :drool5:

I might be biased because I have 15 spoke version of vectors on my 69. The color combo you have though is a no brainer. Magnums all the way on that car. They will look awesome. I would go minimum 275's on the rear for tires but that's just me.
