Anyone ever try these on a '67 Barracuda Fastback?

It currently has a set of 14" Cragar S/S chrome wheels, which are cool, but I want to maybe mix it up a bit. These are an inexpensive option for an alternate set of wheels. Just not sure how they will look on the car. I was considering a set a Rallyes and still might, but I want to look at all the options, especially when there seem to be so few for the small bolt pattern. If anyone has pics or other feedback, that would be cool. Thanks

I had 2 tires mounted up on these today for my 68 Dart. 225/70/14.
 
I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a lighter wheel, but as far as a great-looking wheel I've never seen them really stand out on any vehicle. I like the solid Outlaws better. My two cents.
 
I had them on my Duster in the 80's and they looked fantastic. I had wider ones in the back with a good dish and 6 or 7 inchers in the front. Back then they had a nicer looking center cap
 
Thanks for all the feedback. I think I've decided to hold off for a little while and spend the extra dollars to get a nice set of rallyes and tires. The Outlaws and some of the other (too few available) options are nice, but I find myself being repeatedly drawn to the rallye wheel look, even though they are not period correct for my '67. Kinda galls me how they jack up the price with the center caps and trim rings. The accessories cost as much or more than the wheels themselves based on what I've seen.
 
hard to tell, it might end up looking too much like a 4x4
(Those are hands down the best looking wheels for those)
 
As I mentioned earlier, I am leaning toward a set of rallye wheels. I did a crude mock up for comparison:

I don't hate the Cragars, they are just obviously not original. The rallyes will look like they could be, which I much prefer. I guess I'm looking for opinions. My wife likes the Cragars, of course.

If I pull the trigger, I'll be listing the Cragars for sale once I transfer the T/As to them. They are 14" S/S, 5x4 bolt pattern. Message me if interested.
 
The rallies look great but there's nothing wrong with a fresh set of Cragar SS they always pop and just say classic muscle
 
You may think about going to a 15 inch wheel at this time. it will give you a few more wheel selection and definitely a lot more Tire choices. 14s we are getting pretty obsolete
 
Yup, grab a set of brand new US indy (made in China, of course) 15x8 and 15x7 slotted mags
