Well you have to let us know much you want to spend and how big you want to go with. For me I own a 1986 El Camino conquesta and I am going to buy chip foose nitrous 18x8.5 in back and 17x8 in front. They will cost me about 1700 altogether.

Another good pair that is cheaper is American eagle rims Series 211

These I was going to buy from the start until I saw those chip foose rims

You can get polished chrome replica Iroc rims

There are a ton of different types of rims you can get for your car. Just look around at different places till something hits you. I can show you 100 different kinds that I like, but it is your car you put on what you like. There will be people who will like it and other will say they do not like it. Do not care about them. If your happy that is all that should matter

i like the chevy SS wheel look, but it doesnt come in a 15" wheel [that i know of], so i am using buick 15" rallys. you can add a super sport center cap and it looks like it belongs.

unlike the ones i have that were pretty rusty and tarnished, they can shine up really well, and look good....IMHO
also a big fan of these..
