They look like Ferrari wheels without the center cap. No good on a P-car.

They were pretty expensive back in the day. They looked better in all silver.

Thet are bad but no where near the worst. My vote for worst goes to the "Bear face" wheels Tirerack was pedaling.

If the center was chrome or polished then they would probably look good.

Oh yes, the Teddy Bear rim... forgot about those. How about those white and yellow "Daisy" flower wheels they had too? Just the thing for your 930! I always wondered what a 12" deep-dish Teddy Bear rim would look like on a Turbo... Photoshop anyone?

I think they were marketing the Bear and Daisy wheels to the VW Cabriolet set.

Is it just me, or does anyoneone else want to put a smiley face in the center of the daisy wheel and Holly-Hobby or Strawberry-Shortcake stickers on the pedals?

So, is this what they would look like if you got a hold of them?
