Any else like Wolfrace Slot Mag alloys?? Not really into fancy alloys but for some reason really I like the Wolfies and I have five of them all just ripe for a good clean and polish. I may well have a layer of paint to remove as I have not cleaned the twenty years of grime from them.
They are very much of their time.
Personally, I never much liked them even back in period (I much prefer the Series II Esprit to the Series I, pretty much entirely on the basis of the latter's Speedline alloys vs. the original slot mags), but each to their own: on a certain type of 1970's car, they at least carry period character.

Make any car look better
Hmmm... personal tastes, obviously, but to me that looks dreadful. Would look better on steels, IMO.The Marina, OTOH, doesn't actually offend, if you assume it's been done with an ironic sense of humour (and God knows you want one of those, if you run a Marina).

They did, but as per my post above, they're pretty much the single reason that I preferred the S2, with Speedlines:
The slot mags make the S1 look too 'kit car', to my eyes... they remind me of the Beetle-based kits of the '70's, like the Nova and Charger.

This was one of the quicker cars to run on "Wolfies" although they forgot to put the slots in and it featured solid wheels :
I always thought that WolfRace was founded by the late John Woolfe (killed in a 917 at Le Mans) but apparently not, a certain Mr Barry Treacey. This is just a small part of his classic car collection, I'm guessing it was a profitable business :
Note - the Ferraris are all on OEM wheels...

You could be forgiven since its a name that goes way back in drag racing history and a company that still exists ...
