Cool What are these alloys?

Never seen a ZT on the road with these alloys before? But they look as if they are factory?

Look like 17 inch mirages - i have these on my car - associated with the poverty spec ZT 1.8's.

Mirage has a thicker spike Martin.

Your right - but they are very similar in general design though - i would not mind a set.

They're 19 inch. Weren't ever a official wheel option. Only ever seen them fitted to that demo car.

A non-standard wheel used on the ZT-T demo model. Shame they weren't offered on the production model as they look great. I'd bet the ride quality is shocking though!

I wouldn't want 19's on an early ZT-T.
The suspension was known for being stiff & bad enough on 18's!
(I have a 51 plate on 18" Straights).
The later variants had a slightly softer ride as far as I understand.

Suspension was optional "comfort" or hard as per the mk1.

Is it just me or do they look like they’d be more at home on a Saab

Yes, early cars were pretty rock hard! Both my ZTs were later cars (53 and 54 plates) with the softer 'comfort' suspension which itself was firm enough.
