Not the best looking wheels ever IMO, but I can't think of any that suit the shape of a BX better:

Ma_DS20 had an 18 just like this one in the early '80s.  I thought (and still think) the wheels are brilliantly stylish given that 1. there are no wheel-trims, and 2. they're steel, not alloy (I think).

most plastic trims deserve this fate

MK3s really suited these, especially the posh ones with the extra cladding and whatnot.

The original "easy clean" wheels with chrome trim look about 1100% better than bloody wire wheels.

I think Minilites or one of their many imitators can work on pretty much anything, perhaps it's the designed for purpose image or motorsport heritage.

That was mine, I got it for free.  The wheels were the best thing about the car.  What a horrible piece of shit that 820 was, I was glad to weigh it in - 11 previous owners, gearbox like a Moulinex Magimix in 1st and 2nd, knackered exhaust, the usual electrical woes (windows that would go up and down 2mm at a time), snapped doorhandles.

 

In wheel-related news I collected an Almera Streetwise for my wife last night that has 18" wheels as standard - obviously that's unacceptable, so I am off to Milton Keynes tonight to pick up a far more sensible set of 16" steels.  The 18s will be sold on eBay and the proceeds will go into the Christmas fund.  Job jobbed.

The gentleman in this picture is standing a little further away giving the impression that the vehicle is fucking massive
