Yeah definitely looks good. Cowl hood may not fit in good but it’s not horrible. What was the factory color?

Appears to be butternut yellow.
Your car you dingdong?
Squash yeller and cragars 
Not enough rake...
I think that it's your car, get what makes you smile!
I am not a big fan of the kidney bean style wheels, especially if they get too large in diameter.
Torq-thrust is kinda close to what you put on the C10. I like those, but I would either have the identical ones on the car, or get a different style. Slots are a favorite of mine, but do you want the car to look like it came from that era? Nothing against that.
I don't care for the Crager style like it has, when the lip between the spokes and the bead is so wide. Larger diameter should help that.
So in reality, I don't know what to suggest, which is kinda why I hadn't said anything.

Don't know.
It was bolero red from the factory.
But the car had been repainted. Before the po bought it. PO said he was told it was a 63 Corvette red. But he went to get a repair and a 63 Corvette red didn't work. So he paid for a paint analysis, which came back to be Honda color.
Either way the paint isn't perfect and will need to be repainted someday, so it will go back to the factory color.

So I think that the Western that Zimmer posted, or the ones that you showed on the Nova, may be a different look.

or has 25k in cash in the trunk.
I think its a sweet car, I've always wanted a 1st gen chevelle.
I'd go 17s for close to pro touring, not too big, not too small.
American has a cool "configurator" and they happpen to have a 67 chevelle you can make red if you pick the SS version. Then you can see how it might look with almost any wheel on it. I tried to link a couple pictures here but they show up with no wheels, ha ha
I'm not on the black wheel bandwagon, I don't mind black engine parts, but I like shiny wheels. The gray you picked looks way better than black, but if it was mine I like the modern twist on the old torque thrust that has the more pointed outer lines, like this one below. However, its not mine, so you should put whatever wheel on it you like.

Ok here you go beags. Took me a while but I finally found the perfect wheels for your new ride. Make sure you are sitting down before you click the link they are so badass!

Meh, I don't hate those. They probably wouldn't look horrible on alot of cars. But probably not this one either. But not quite I look I think I want.

Another wheel I think looks good are these. Little more pro touring type of look.
Those almost look like the wheelies on the crusher Camaro when it was pro touring and now the VP challenger. I could live with dubs like those on my car.

Those are exactly what they are. I liked the look of the crusher camaro. So I searched around tonight until I found where freiburger says what they are. And they are about the cheapest wheel of everything listed thus far.
