I'm not sure. They're not totally awful, but don't sit quite right for me.

I think I'd flog them on and try and get something a bit more period for the car myself.

Can't make my mind up either. Seeing as they are a modern wheel on an old car they certainly don't look bad at all, although if it were mine i'd get some pepperpots or similar on it!

That could be a good thing, you don't want the car to be a pig puller.

i dont like them, look a bit odd realy

and on the o/s/r you have a directional tyre, going the wrong way.

so best get the jack out and stick it on the other side lol
