Default New Wheel Opinion

It is getting close to the time that I need to get new tires. So I figured that I would also get new rims. I like the nostalgic look of the spokes. I have 80's on there now but was thinking of maybe going with the 60 or 40. Originally I was just going to replace the rear wheel because there is some corrosion damage to it. The front has very little pitting. But since I have some money urging me to spend it, I may replace both.

Does anyone have an opinion on if the 60 or 40 spoke wheels would give it a more nostalgia look, I stay with what I have, or maybe looking into getting fat spokes.

If you have pictures I would love to see them
