Not totally sure what they all are, but would really like some advice as to their origin/value if they have any.

Anything I can check or photograph closer/measure just say!

Springalex with boss deep dish; unbranded deep dish and a Leyland bossed tiny wheel.

Thanks in advance! :)

Think the top left one is an astrali one, but don't take my word for it

[brownspeed]

bottom one looks like the old leather rim Mountney.

I used to run one about the size of a ring doughnut on my cooper s.

Bottom one is ridiculously heavy too. Has 'Classic Grand Prix' etched onto it if that is of any use.

Are they worth chucking on ebay, or not likely to generate interest?

[Covert]

How small is the bottom one danm?

Dont take my word for it, but I think the deep dish wheels go for decent money if in good nick - I saw one for sale on a stall at Brighton, it was used and Im sure they were after £70!

Top right looks like a silver Astrali Successor II, I have two of these, paid about £20 each for them, one sticker bombed and one NOS in box. Top left I have also owned but I dont know the brand or model, I sold mine for £15 with a rubbish purple paint job

Interesting! Thanks for the feedback so far. I will take some better pics when I get home to see if we can determine 100% what they may be.

 

They're all in quite good condition. The top right is not an Astrali Successor II though. I did think it at first, but the metal finish is different and also the boss. It's a Springalex 3 inch+ deep dish similar to what my cousin has seen in MK1 Escorts.

Also seen a guy sell one here: http://www.turbospor...ad.php?t=175472

 

He got £85 for a nasty one. Mine is immaculate! Might be worth posting there too.

Oh right, looks so similar to a successor II ! and yes I would say its worth taking decent pictures and posting around the web, They are popular in the classic car world!

Two big wheels are both 13 inch diameter. The Springalex has a 3inch dish, the unknown one a 4inch dish.

The mysterious 'Craftsman Grand Prix' 11inch wheel has a centre bit stamped 'Astrali 1978' with all matching Astrali logo bolt heads holding it together.
