I've always heard that nobody likes these. I actually have a set for my project. I started to buy into the negativity until I found the photo of the early 4-lug version. Granted its for a mini, and its probably 13". Its at least somewhat of a vintage look... 
OK, scrutinize away. |

| I'd put them on my project if I had the money. I think they look good. I always have liked the black wheels with some polished sections on it. I personally am running silver Empi 8's but they will match the color of my car better. |

I know couple friends that has the 4-lug BRMs on their cars.
Here is one for example on his '73 Super Beetle:
Looks sweet on his ride...
