Here's a stupid idea: 18" diameter wheels with black lip to simulate 15"!

I think a big part of it is personal preference, just like anything else
personally, I will take 15 inch aluminum slots over what your running any day

A/A except, almost any day. I love slot-mags.
but The Dart doesn't look bad. I also think tho, that the sideview with the filter-house sticking up through the plane of the missing hood,and the color, and the stripe-kit,plays strongly on my emotions. If I had seen only a profile shot, with a standard hood, and in brown; I'm pretty sure I would not have liked it. And if the rear backspace hadda been any less, IDK...........
