Yes. I do like the pepper pots. But they're only available as 15"
I haven't given up on something similar though
You need to decide what look you want to end up with then find some wheels that will give you that look.
The above wheels scream 1980s and the fake spinners make anything look cheap and comedic IMHO.
Style 34s or 36s are as near as you will reasonably get to the originals from a 507, if that is what you are after.
The wire wheels with real spinners and hub adapters are 15". 65 profile tyres and a set of lowering springs and job's a good 'un.
The kit from Tribute Auto comes with GRP grill surrounds and metal grill pieces a bit like BBQ mesh/shelf. I think the idea is that the mesh will be clipped, glued, fixed to the grill surrounds. I've changed the shape of my bonnet and grill intakes and still not happy with that but today I wanted to fit the grill mesh. I don't want to fix the mesh to the grill surrounds so decided to fit the mesh to the car like this:
The grill/mesh supplied with the kit is too small to work the way I want so I got some of the alu mesh from Halfords. Easy to shape and cut.
When the bonnet is closed it kinda looks OK.
Excuse the grill surrounds. still bodging/shaping the bonnet and the grill intakes and just stuck em in there to see what it'll look like
Eventually I do want to use the same kind of mesh as that supplied with the kit but I've searched everywhere and just can't find a BBQ shelf big enough. I'll mail chris at tribute and ask him where he gets his from - and how big is it before he chops it up.
