Should I or should I not mount these on the car?
Have never seen a GTS with spinners before, so I do not know how it looks.
Thanks.

Put them on and see if they suit you. If not swap them back.

Your car looks amazing without them, but you will only know if you try them. You can always take them off.

That's one of those personal choices.  I like them, but not everyone does.  I agree with Chuck, it's not that much work to try it, and if you don't like em, take em off!

don't the spinners interfere with the lug nuts?

I had spinner centers on my ET wheels when my '76 was daily driven. Loved them. Actually still have them! As far as lugnuts, I always slightly turned the spinner to access the blocked lugs as needed. They are held on by a bolt that goes thru a large flat washer, so there is a little wiggle room.

I use a ratchet for that lug nut behind the spinner arm.
