I was quoted a silly price to have them restored so decided to do it myself & also had a set of centre caps made by a local company, i finished them a couple of days ago & had Goodyear eagle F1 GDS3 fitted today 195/50/15's. Im really happy with the results.anyone care to cooment, good or bad, cheers, Jinxy
What's the width and offset like on those? Nice job! 
I dont know the offset i must admit, but they originally came off of a MK1, the original owner of these gets on here from time to time & may well answer that for you if he spots this post, cheers, Jinxy(must be the same wheels!) Good effort =D> =D> Think it needs to be a dark car though, not sure how well they'd work on white or silver, but great on a dark blue one. I know just how hard DIY wheel restoration can be. Wore my thumbs of doing mine. (And now they're sat in the garage. Mad eh?).....
.. have not seen many mk1s with wheels like that, reckon they suit it though.

& loads of elbow grease 
, it was really hard to make sure that the last wheel looked as good as the first one, because i just wanted to get them finished & on my car. Lots of wet & dry, loads of paint, laquer, even more swearing 
, by the end of last week i could have done a bank job & got away with it..... had no fingerprints left on my fingers !! . Those centre caps were a real pain to research, the perspex dome's were cut from a sold bar of perspex then hand finished & polished as the old ones had faded & had stress cracks from age, they also had 'RW' in the centre caps so decided the MK1 Eagle would look great instead. im still not happy with one of the wheels as it still has some slight curbing which i plan to take to an alloy wheel specialist after JAE to finish off ,but you can only see it if you look closely. Karl your right , this is exactly what Kev & i said, they definately look better on a dark car, we put one up against Nigels ( Russd1 ) white MK1 and they didnt look right & they looked superb against Kev's sherwood toning Supercharger when it was here 
, cheers, Jinxy!, they look very similar to the U.S MK1 wheels, not sure if they were just on superchargers / super editions though, you may know.
They look awesome mate, good job 
- really suit the car, americanise it a bit - certainly good to see something original for a change 
& had a good look at one recently just in case something happened to my centre caps & they are totally different, so is the style of basketweave pattern, Jinxy I like! =D> The screamin' chicken centre caps are a particularly cool touch.

.. no other wheels were fitted as standard. Of course dealers may have offered other wheel packages.- Circuit Pack
