Found that on the website above. They look the same.

I know that as "Mini challenge wheel" (but maybe this referes to the similar-ish GKN wheel?).
Anyays, R&G made some wheels that looked similar-ish to the above in the 80's(?).

And found out, there's a 'Mille Miglia' wheel called 'James', but it looks different and is 13".
Also 'Mille Miglia' made a wheel in 5x12" which is identical to the 'James', but called 'Derek'
Both 'Mille Miglia' look like this: http://mini-mayfair....12/unbek_12.jpg

The R&G wheel is 5x12" (made for Metro) and looks like this:



But I can't figure if or how they could be linked...? Or if RG and R&G are/were a different company??
(Might as well possible, the cataloque which I took the above picture of, gives wrong info...)

Rare enough to make it worth listing in the classifieds ?

In fact - does anyone want to make me an offer ?
