Default New wheels are on!!!!

Just bought these wheels from Stucos off of here for what I must say was a very good price!!

I particularly like these as they are period alloys which are as old as the car itself!!

anyway apologies for the poor quality of the pics but just thought i would get other peoples opinions on them!!

Certainly some mixed opinions!!! lol

I personally think that large modern alloys do not suit the 3 door hence why i love the retro look of these!
