Owned these back in the day
Seriously though, it's great to see this new interest in Metros, I used to love mine back in the 80s when all my mates were into their Novas and Fiestas.

What little information there is on the Minki and minki-2 make for interesting reading. They would have been nicer than the Rover 100 anyway!

Marina, Ital, TR7, MGF, Dolomite, Spitfire, Maestro, Montego etc all fit 4x95.25 PCD aswell 
But I always thought A-Series Metro's had a 4x101.6 Mini PCD? as the 4 pot conversion is used on mini's? and you often see them running 12" mini wheels too?

I believe it is 4x4" ... or 4x101.6 not the 4x100 mentioned above.

I still remember John from Lincoln mini centre advising me to change my 850 for a metro in 1990. I did and never thought the same about him again.
Test drove a gti in about 97/98 and thought it was shocking.
YET seeing the beige one just got my juices flowing.
And as for those wheels they look like std steels that have been banded.
