google did a nice collage of 'similar photos' for me, nicely showing me how well my wheels have rusted up :ok

You could get them refurbished when you put a better matching tyre diameter on them, perhaps?

A 205/60r16 would match the factory diameter for example.

I'm very aware of tyre sizes, I don't have a factory van so I'm happy to have been running 27" tyres for about 5 years now the stock tyre diameter is far too small for the engine.

I have some tollimans in storage which I'll use once I sort new tyres for those. Sick of the steels rusting!

Ive got a set of tolli's to put on our van. 205/80r16 104s if I recall are the tyres that are on the 4 that came off the syncro. Picked up a spare tolli some chap was selling so I have a spare. Just need 5 tyres, about £60+each if I recall.
Currently just got standard steelies on the van but they are getting all funky.
