A set of these steel wheels (with rain tires mounted) came with a Crossle 45 that I bought about 4 years ago. They have lived in the attic of my shop since.
Can anyone ID them?

I see that your new car has chimneys. Is this a cooling measure? I would think that there is a big drag factor? What did your CFD model tell you?
