Two of them have flat spots (hit kerb during accident a decade or more ago) that will need professional attention and I'm missing one plastic hub cover. Tyres are 205/60/14 which will obviously need replacing.

Thinking about getting them repaired, blasting all the paint and crud off, refinishing with lattices painted body colour and picking up some tyres to give the car the original look.

Thoughts?

Right then.

I recall buying the 5 spokes because the lattices were such pigs to get clean...

Gary, I may well now have the only Wedge in Western Australia, so there's zero chance of them being in demand over here unless they were fitted to anything else. Tyres seem reasonably cheap. Can't hurt to get a quote I guess, although the more I can do myself the more viable the job will be.

Where should I look for a 4th hub cover....? I know this is a much studied and discussed subject but I'm not sure what the current state of play is?

These. Correct offset and rolling circumference.

Defo best with painted centres IMO. Funny I haven't had 1000s of P.M.s offering a hub cover :-(
