long shot but...

I recently purchased an '86 Mini Chelsea LE to replace my crashed Studio2. The previous owner gave me an extra set of the original alloys fitted to this model.
they look like this

I'm keeping a set and I think I will try to sell the other set.

How many more models had these wheels fitted? Am I right on thinking they are quite rare? Cannot find any on Ebay to give me and idea on the value. I know they are not the prettiest wheels but what can their value be?

Ta.

No idea on value, But probaly not as much as standard rover minilights.

If i remember correctly they were only fitted to the Chelsea as standard and were an option on the mayfair of the same year.

I think the ritz had them fitted too, I also have a set that I advertisd on E bay with a £50 start, but I did not get any bids, might be best to sell them at a show

i'd say, at a rough estimate, about £10 a wheel, if their imaculate, maybe £15 a wheel, so 4 wheels = £40 to £60.

thanks for the replies...

I think what SOG suggests it´s the best idea... the only thing is that the show season is almost over for me.

The Ritz did indeed have them as standard as can be seen in this brochure shot, they can be worth about £20 each in tip top condition, nothing wrong with that though, they're nice wheel's and could be just what somebody's after to finish of their original LTD edition
