You could argue that it's been so long since they were seen on cars that no-one under thirty will recognise them.  Mind you, the same could be said for three spokes...and they looked **** as well!

I must confess that when I passed my test back in '94 (before I knew better) I wanted a set of three spokes on my Mercury Grey Escort 1.3 Bonus RS lookalike with full XR interior (but the game was given away by the basic Bonus specification level, with a clock where the rev counter should be and a blanking plate where the fag lighter should be), along with green painted calipers and rear drums along with green bumper striping and a green "turbo" sticker along the side.  Subtle.

 

I got the green calipers in the end on the vRS, well, green and rust colour...

Those Teddy Bear wheels cost a fortune back in the day (believe it or not) - about £400 each iirc.

 

Before you ask, no, I didn't and nor was I tempted, I just remember them from an issue of Revs magazine back in the day!

 

I did, however, put some cheap and nasty Cosmic alloys on an Escort once that held air like a burst balloon and corroded faster than an Eighties Ford parked in the sea.
