I think they'll look very nice... Are you going to refurbish them before fitting?

They will probably look quite nice, but you'll have to have them refurbed first.

Have you got the missing centre cap too?

I think I'd be tempted to have them sand blasted and start from scratch :-/ :-/

Got them on mine their Sport Stars. I had them refurbed by The Wheel Specialist. Who "gloss powder coated" them in a bright silver and I think they look great. These wheels  were designed for Omega's, and are matched to the lower shape of the body.Their featured in the original dealer brochure as an expensive option, your very lucky to have the 9" option for the rear. :y :y :y
