Phil - cool photos, do you have any history on your car? Lots of work to change the front end like yours......
Have a look here for wheels, could be yours.

They're really good
-I see the bus/train connection now. Do you mean you're replacing them?
I meant to ask earlier are the front wings made from steel?
