Your comments, opinions and especially your logic, regardless whether its pro or con are much appreciated. Everyone has made a perfectly valid point, so for now I've put the entire matter of keeping the headlight rims in place on the back-burner. In the meantime however, the UPS truck keep bringing things I've ordered recently, or stuff that had been sent out some time ago, while I continue to work on Ruprecht.
The attached is the latest from Harvey Weidmann..........a completely reconditioned spare set of 15" x 8" Fuchs rims for the rear, and a pair of new Australian-made "PERFORMANCE" lightweight cast-aluminum pseudo Minilites, which he modified with steel inserts to allow use of the hemispherical Porsche lugnuts. Can't wait to mount them on the rear, as I believe they'll add significantly to the Rally look I'm trying to create.
Re photo 2,......... I'll let you gents guess what it is and what I'll do with it. Sorry to be so blunt, but on this satanic detail there will be no poll, no asking for opinions, no debate,.......... when finished I'm mounting them on Ruprecht. By the way, the 10millimeter socket is strictly for size reference...........my archeological hammer wasn't handy.

Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

I think that the wheels are going to look Rad!

Raydots mounted to window frames = OK, but no rearward visibility to speak of.
Raydots mounted 1 1/4"" off the window frames = excellent visibility.
The mounts don't vibrate (tested at 0 mph over a period of 2 beers), but how do they look?

Final round of detail shots (for now) from The Museum:
1) 914/8 switch console
2) 917/30 engine internals on display
3) Magnesium-framed 917K with flaking silver paint used to fool drivers and scrutineers into believing the tube frame was, in fact, alumium
4) 935 "Baby" frenched rearview mirror detail
5) Berg Spyder tach and (I believe) fuel bladder pressure gauge (so that would make it a fuel gauge) ... this is the only tach I've ever seen with "Porsche" on it.
