    Yes, as posted Elvis Presley's 308GT4 had them.

    We also have a member here that has a set equipped to a 308GTB, as a dealer installed option.

    They are 'ok' but you are really at the change of an era at the mid 70s that they no longer reconcile to the car's styling lines. Many Daytonas that came on wires (and look very nice) had to change to cast wheels to go to the track.

    Wires become unsafe at higher stress levels.
    For cruising Main Street, I guess it's a coin toss.

    while I'm not a fan of wire wheels on 308 series cars, I do like the central spline knock offs, wonder what it would look like with Boxer / modified 308 wheels... I'm thinking like the 206 Dino...with the 3 ear knock off wheels...the dish of the wheel needs to be right as well.. deeper in the rear the better. Maybe like the Rosso Razzo wheels that are featured in Forza .... $$$ but do look good.
