Three spokes. The good the bad and the ugly

[DoctorRetro]

Three spokes are elite, but work best on 90s cars.

A hard wheel style to get right. Let's see the best and the worst. 

Personal favourite: Saab 900. Simple, elegant and suit the car perfectly

 

Saab 900 three spokes are great but there's a rarer, deep-dish version that's even better.  Think they're called super-aeros.  There was a black L-Reg 900 on Ebay a few months back that looked so good on its super-aeros that it looked like a piece of art.  Wish I'd screenshotted it.  But I did save a pic of the wheels for future lottery win fantasy garage research purposes.

My Pontiac has three spokes… after a fashion…

Aren't they, those?

*edit* no. But they're similar

If you squint long enough they look like a side on silhouette of a cock n balls.

I had a Z31 300ZX which was nice to drive and really good looking, but offset by these horrendous wheels that came with it:
