Well, SOMEBODY still likes wire wheels. I got a set with my 380SL, and they hadn't been maintained very well. After some rather extreme cleaning involving paint remover (!) and replacing the slightly beat-up caps/curb feelers with fake spinners, they look good from a foot away. My wife likes them and she may be doing some driving this summer. Mine are Daytons, supposedly the best. They may be leaking a little so I'm going to have a shop put some sealant on the rims this spring. Dayton doesn't make this exact style anymore, rechroming wires is impossible without complete disassembly/cutting/rewiring, and on new ones, they went to more wires, and they would be a cool $2K for a set of 4.
What I don't like about them is - 14". You can barely get a decent 14" tire anymore.
