That's exactly why I like them without - a bit less formal

That'd be my preference, too in all honesty. They do need fitting as the powder coat finish on the rims is a long way short of perfect. The finish on the centres is good, though. I'm not bother naming and shaming the company, but neither will I be recommending them either.
I haven't found a good set of rings to fit yet. I've got two singles - a polished one with 4 claws that I think is '69 only and I've also got a single unused but battered brushed stainless version. I'll probably just have to order a set of new ones at some point.
The chromed acorn style wheelnuts arrived on Thursday so I managed to get those swapped on yesterday. So that's another little piece of the puzzle ticked off at least.

We put just over 100 miles on the clock today just cruising around and by the end of play tomorrow we'll have clicked over the first 1000 miles in our ownership so it's definitely getting some use.
-Jon.

Pretty sure I've got some if you want a set as I have a couple of sets of 14" rallye's kicking about , one set came off a 73 charger so will be the brushed finish.
