The question is, do you hate them 40+ years later?
Yes I do. It's a bit odd, because I am generally a fan of five spoke wheels. I think the problem is, these always look like they are inside out on a car.
I love ATS wheels.
Back in the 80s I had a set on my 240Z with black painted centers and polished rims.... Thought they were pretty cool....

At first I thought I was seeing the back side
I absolutely adore ATS classics in 13X7
This VW needs chunkier tires but dang!
I am indifferent to these wheels in 14 and 15 inch versions though
I had some on a 912 Porsche years ago .......I would love to find another set :)

The letters and numbers in the middle of the spokes don't help.
Those wheels are awesome. Certainly not pretty, but awesome nevertheless.
I had a set of the ATS just like the first pic on my '74 X1/9. They looked great on the X and were light and strong. I loved them as they fit the look of the car very well.
This is my actual car with them, but with the next owner.
How does it feel to be wrong for 40 years? ;)
Seriously, though - they do look best with some strategic black paint. Now they're always going to look inside out to me, thanks a bunch.

Anything I can do to help.
I like them, almost look like cromodoras. ATS made the 5 spoke pentas for mercedes in much demand, so time has spoken.
Unpainted they almost look like Campy wheels.
They're not Porsche phonedials cool but they seem pretty cool.
Those have been my favorite Volvo wheels for a long time.

I don't even know who you are any more.
I always liked them. Never thought about the inside/out look but now I'll never see them the same way again.
They look better than some wheels out there today.

Until the first two posts in this thread, I can't say with any certainly that I had ever seen them without black accents.

These remind me some of my favourite Porsche rims, the CookieCutters. They look great with black centres and polished rims
