I disagree, newage on a classic look wrong and look exactly that i.e newage on a classic.....nothing special, not that wide and the offset puts them in too far compare to aftermarkey rims.

Best 17's for a Classic are :
Prodrive SpeedLine ST2's 5-spokes
Prodrive P-WRC (P1 Alloys)

http://www.rarerims.co.uk have a nice selection.

18's are fine on a classic but you need to be carefull with width and offest. ET48 on a 7.5inch rim (215/35 Tyres) or ET51 minimum on an 8inch rim (225/35 Tyres).
Also go for a tyre with a softer sidewall i.e not Bridgestone but something like Toyo or Falken. If you have too hard a sidewall on the 18's you will regret it.

Thank you for your advice on the wheels - Very much appreciated.
