Yes, yes, and NO! Those hideous wheels were part of the "Victory Edition"
package, circa 1976. AFAIK they were never featured again after that, so they
could not have appeared on any TR7 convertible (1979-on), although I suppose
one was free to hunt up a set and put them on a convertible. :-) If anything,
the Spyder might have used TR8 alloys?
