Oh, totally yes for some Watanabes. 

And since we’re sharing Porsche photos, how about Minilites on a Porsche 914? I shot this at a local PCA morning meet-up. 

Sharing because I love the contrast here.

Mine too! I have them on my 67 Sonett

I have also been enamored with these on a Lotus 25

My current favourite is the Rota RB. I have them on my MINI and my son has them on his Fiat.

The car is likely scrap,but I have two more.

Had some rota style on my ZX 2+2, found them used for $200 bucks. Nice buy, great look...

Lots of my favorites already mentioned. Since I had at least a dozen Fiat 124s, the four spoke Cromadora Abarth wheel was always a goal.

I like the bladed wheels on a Bugatti T35B   after that it's American racing wheels in magnesium

from the 1960's 

 

I had the BBS Bugattis on my e36 and thought they looked good as a modern take

BBS RS

And my personal favorite is the Volk CV-Pro or GR-C 

and another set on one of my old 2.3 16v 190e

These are vintage wheels used on D-Type Jags.  I am doing a replica on my TR6.

Old School

These look great on older vehicles like my '58 Ford panel truck.

Vintage Volks are pretty darn cool.

There was actually a period mag made like that for Triumphs. It was sold through Triumph dealers in the last year or two of the TR3 and continued into the TR43 period.  You could get them in either aluminum or magnesium alloy and they had a cosmetic spinner that threaded on the centre.  They were made by American Racing

This one was on my TVR race car - the threading os gone due to a slow thinking mechanic who hammered the centre nut on like he would a steel wheel, on the tire machine, only recalling my caution that they were magnesium and you had to be careful.  I had the cracked bits machined off.

They were also marketed as Silverstones.  Period pic on a TR:

Always liked how the American Racing Silverstone had the cutouts for the lugs. 

In 2005 or so, I got a set of new Silerstones for my Miata–no cutouts, though.
