The repop doesn't look as good. My originals had a chrome trim ring that was held on by wire clips behind the spokes. The spokes actually had a relief cut to clear the trim ring.

Ford Mustela II (Ghia), 1973

After its acquisition by Ford Ghia in 1973, Ghia were used as the European styling and prototype wing of Ford's global organization. Immediately, Ghia came up with a string of concept cars, inevitably based on Fords. Early examples were the Mustela (a Capri alternative), the Tuareg (an off-road Fiesta) and the Microsport (a truncated Fiesta-based sports coupe).
