My guess is that よく見りゃ means 'good-looking' but I can't find it in any
dictionary. Have I guessed correctly? Is it a contraction of something?

Meaning of よく見りゃ
> 「見りゃ」＝「見れば」 = "if you look (at it)"

「れば」 is often pronounced 「りゃ」 in informal daily speech.

「よく見りゃ」 thus means " ** _if you look at it/them carefully_** ". It could not
mean "good-looking" in any context.
