Has anyone ever had these on their Elan?

Found them locally for $50 each. Not sure if I like them or not. They're 6 inches wide and the correct bolt pattern and 11.5 lbs. They're currently mounted on a Europa.

Hi Russ
My S4 came with knock-on Wolfrace wheels which look similar, I don?t particularly like the look on Elan but do look a lot better on +2.
Mine are going for scrap!

Cheers

They look like the wheels that were on this car that sold on Ebay recently. I prefer the original steel wheels on early cars. Each to there own. :)

I'm not sure if I like them yet or not. I didn't buy them, but I'm thinking about it. Maybe someone with a Spitfire that wants some unique vintage wheels might want them. I could always turn around and sell them on eBay for a small profit, but I'm sure there is a very limited audience for something like that.
