The tyres included do inflate but they're not roadworthy.
Re-furbed tham last week, centre caps included.
Thanks in advance

Also by "refurbed" do you mean that they have had a proffesional refurb or that you have rubbed them down & repainted them yourself as this will affect the value. A pro refurbed set (i.e acid dipped, reskimmed & refinished) are worth almost as much as a new set. probably around the £30+ per wheel mark. Otherwise a DIY repainted set of Rover 4.5x12's without decent tyres will be worth £15- £20 per rim max. (I suppose you might get a few extra quid, if you find someone who is specificaly looking for black set for their car!)
Oh... & I would flog the centre caps seperately if I were you, I just sold as set of four of them on ebay to a buyer in austrailia for £30 including p&p!!

Just had a measure and they are definately 12x5.5s.
They are a home refurb but not a quick job, took me 2 days to get them how I wanted them!
Were the 12x5.5s fitted to the late non sportpack mpi coopers?
So how much do you reckon foe the 5.5s then?
Thanks again.

I wasn't trying to do your home refurb an injustice by the way, from the pics they are clearly a very good finish. I just meant that a pro refurb will add serious value. If you are thinking of selling them, then I personally would stick them on ebay as a buy it now for £99 and see what happens, (make sure buyers have the option of delivery by courier though, in order to get maximum chances of a sale. You can get a set of 4 wheels delivered anywhere UK mainland by courier for about £30)

They do seem to be 4.5s, I was thinking 5.5s because of the 165 tyres that are fitted.
Will take you advice and stick them on eBay I think.
Cheers

Its the inside measurement thats the width not the outer one that you've pictured.

I may be wrong here, but thats not how you measure rim width.

You are quite correct, you do measure wheel width between the inner edges & not as Lukie-J has pictured. I think the photo is demonstrating how he measured them to arrive at the figure of 5.5" in error!

stick them on fleabay for a 99p start, will do about £125 ish.
I'm not so sure, yes a set of minilites with decent tyres will fetch £100+ easily, but this particular set are effectively just rims & similar can be bought new from around £45ish per item. Also they are finished in black which won't appeal to as many people as the standard silver items. True enough they could fetch £125 or even more if you get a couple of bidders who really want them, but equally you might not get much for them either so it's a bit of a gamble. A couple of months back, I only managed to get £100 for a decent set of 5 of these in Silver.
