I've got 2 set's of Rover Minilites which I want to sell.

 

1 set of 4 have been refurbished in black and fitted with new Yokohama A048R's. I have a full set of new black centre caps & a set of new OE nuts & locking nuts to go with these. The wheels have been fitted to the car with old nuts and the car rolled around but that is it.

1 set of 5 which are still in OE Silver and 4 of them fitted with almost new A539's (less than 1k miles). The 5th has a slightly used A539 on which I punctured but had repaired. These have a full set of genuine cooper centre caps (latest set of these went for £45 on eBay!!!) and I think a black centre cap in the spare. I will also throw in a full set of used wheel nuts (and some spares) these are in good usable condition too.

 

Afraid I don't have a picture of these ones but we all know what Rover Minilites look like.

 

I would imagine that the tyres are the most valuable things here with A048's being over £80 a tyre and A539's being £55 each!

Minilites with tyres from £40 to £80 per set, been a few threads about this. I sold a set with 2 new tyres for £70 and had nuts..
With your new yoko tyres prob will get £130 ish.

I am after a set of wheels but only want to spend £80

[John H]

I don't think the rims have massive value but the A048 tyres are surely worth more than £130

[petey81]

Split them then. Might find you get more.

I'm not going to be able to get pics of the silver ones for a little while as they are fitted to a car in storage. I'll see when I can get them off it.

Hi John, 

Pm'd

[John H]

Ok! I tried to get some pictures of the silver rims. Unfortunately I could only get a snap of one (and the spare) as the car is in a very tight garage. However all 4 are the same with cooper centre caps and fake alloy dust caps and the tyres are identical too (pretty much as new).

 

Picture was taken in an unlit environment so sorry for the quality. The wheels are all in a presentable condition and I would have no problems just using these on a car without any remedial work (the other 3 are the same with the holes for the nuts between the spokes so probably from a mainstream cooper)

 

The spare is an RSP rim not in as good condition and the tyre is a little more worn and has had a puncture repair.

Hence the reason I only use it as a spare but again it is presentable and has a black centre cap with a cooper sticker over it.

On to the black rims.

 

These were blasted and sprayed black and are in very good condition. Couple of slight chips but they will touch up with them being painted as opposed to powder coated. They look great fitted and are shod with brand new Yoko A048r's in medium compound.

 

I've literally pulled these down from the loft space in my garage and given them a wipe over with a clock to get the dust off. No doubt they would look even better after a proper clean.

Full set of brand new nuts and locking nuts (these set me back about £30)

How much you after for the set on the 048R's interested in the tyres more than the wheels!

This thread is for valuation purposes only, so you could "value" them.

 

Once I have decided what I would like for them I will post them in the classifieds

I'd offer you £200 for the set 

[John H]

For the tyres?
