to me they look like the same type of wheel that Graham Russell got
made up for mini race cars... he has a set sitting in his workshop, but
said they are not very good as they had a tendancy to crack. I could not
see them clearly but are they 4 spoke, with 4 oval sections?? They
dont have a name as such as they were just designed by him and he got them
made somewehre.....

Personally i like them, i think they look different and also nice at the same time. but
would not suit every car IMO

Nice looking rims, I reckon they'd look tops on a deluxe.

Is there any issue with the offset twisting loads on your wheel bearings? They look reeeeallly deep...
