I have a set too on my deluxe. Living in hope that it will become fashionable one day.

As common as dirt in the 70s. Still common now, just not as popular as the Contessas.
IMHO they will only ever be fashionable on Valiants, but I had two sets on my first two Clubbies and they looked the part.

Looks good.
Notice you dont have the centre bearing covers. I found one cover on the side of the road several years ago (I think they're Chevell or something like that), but have not been able to locate more.
Any ideas?

Not rare and less desirable than contessa's, IMO. I like them.

I wonder what they weigh compared to a contessa? Do they have the same width and offset as a non-LS contessa?

Yep, so long as there were pom poms around the rear window! My mate had that on his AP5 and S series. Bewdeful :roll:

And the same bloke has a cheap set of contessas with new tyres.

They are only 4.5x10. I had a set on Barney.
I prefer 5x10 Contessas, they seem lighter too.

i've got some, they are very light.
imo they only suit clubmans, they're very 70's muscle.
