my guess is twelves but if you go to the tyres it'll say R _ _ which indicates the diameter of the wheel.

There's so many Minilite copies being made now and which have been made in the past it's really hard to tell from a photo.

The make might be cast into the inside of the rim if you're lucky.

nail on the head !!!! diamond cut referes to the rim finish usually deep dish rims
(diamond tip lathe finish)

Mine had minators, and they did look very similar to those, however it said minator on the rim so you would easily be able to tell.
