Browsing wheels on TireRack after reading the Jalpa build thread (and the talk of the sweet wheels.)

These showed up as fitting the MS3.

Too bad I don't own something they'd look good on.

I don't think anybody has anything those would look good on.

On the right car I think they could work...I just don't know what that car is

i was gonna say "eww" but i guess they look ok on that 500.

Still not a great looking wheel though.

I like them but they don't make them in a size for my Buick.

The white ones don't look bad on a BRG/white R53 MINI.

Fiat 500, R53 Mini, and MK6 Golf were what I was thinking.

I'd totally rock them on an Abarth or a Golf R.

You could always buy them for the wife's 500 and pretend.

I could see running them on a Honda CR-Z to represent a modern version of the 86-87 CRX phone dials.

Eh, maybe not.

I had a set of OZ Racing wheels on my first car. I bought them 3rd or 4th hand off ebay. They were OZ Racing Monte Carlo's and replacement center caps were impossible to find. A guy I autocross with just got a Trans Am that he's building for CAM and guess what wheels came on it - OZ Racing Monte Carlo's (with requisite missing center caps). He didn't even know what they were. Here's a set that actually still have their center caps (the cap was held on by a single small hex-keyed screw)

They're very retro-looking. They look good on the 500 and CR-Z, both somewhat retro-styled cars.

They'd probably look good on a modern Mini, 500, or New Beetle.

Monte Carlos rock. Maybe I just relate them to the period, but I think they're cool. Not sure what the phone dials would work best on but I don't hate them.

I just got a set for my 500X Pop. I wanted them since I bought it new in 2016 and it’s just too cool that the wheel is for the OZ 45h Anniversary in 2016. Well when I finally pulled the trigger there were none in North America. I went thru a wheel shop in Ireland who was able to get a set from Italy. What a headache
