You must be kidding ... Superlites or the Compomotive equivalent are classic MK2
I reckon they look heaps better than the challenger/Bathurst Globe style wheel on a MK2, particularly in bigger diameters like 15's or 16's.
Superlites all the way ...

i have 15x6 Superlites, and could not agree more.

I have 10 spoke 15x7" superlights on my car. Personally I think superlights look good on RS's and Challengers suit flat front Mk2's. The most important person you have to impress is yourself - if you try follow what everyone else thinks you'll never be satisfied. My car:

 15x6 24P offset. 205/50 rear, 195/50 front. rear tyres scrubbed inner guard lip, but only when fully loaded. had 205/50 on front, but they hit the chassis when turning full lock.
