Bolt-on wire wheels-street-rod look?
I have to disagree. Although the idea of fitting wire wheels does add to the classic look, it would also necessitate the true, knock-off wires like the ones fitted to Astons and E-types. These are available from Dayton Wire Wheel, and they will gladly make them in the rim size of your choice, correct number of spokes, stainless spokes for easy maintenence, a lifetime warranty on straightness, and will actually enhance the looks of the cars. I have a set for a later XJ-6, and they come with the adaptors that fit on the bolt circle of the standard hubs. A very easy conversion, and the quality is without comparison.
If you are inclined to consider the wire wheel look, then this is a good way to go about it.
