Never sacrifice how it drives purely for the looks if the handling is that bad. What good is a top motor parked up gonna be if it's in a hedge the first time you get on a B road? Compromise is where it's at. You want it slammed at a show or as you cruise past? Get airbag suspension or hydraulics. You want it to be able to safely drive along a road..compromise.

The steelies *could* look good partly polished. Or if the centres were cut out & turned round so they became deep dished. Seen it before on a Mk1 or 2 Escort I think it was. They were different style tho. Only had 4 spot welds holding the centre in place originally. Cut them off, turned them around and welded the whole centre. Totally transformed the look of the wheel.
