Found these when searching on Summit and thought they might look good on an XJ...a little different twist on the D window design. Opinions?

Thanks for the input guys. It does say that they are DOT approved for off highway use, so does that mean that they are disapproved for highway use? I guess that's what that means. Also says that they are approved for IMCA and CASCAR racing leagues, so maybe I should avoid them on a DD

caged, got a good pic from the side?

Other wheels I'm considering are the Cragar V-5 in silver.

They take a special lug nut as well. Most wheels are Conical seat - 60 degree. The Aero wheels use a Conical seat -45 degree

There's a recipe for confusion at the tire shop...
