Roger,
I think that in the period in which you have interest, most of the wheels
were steel, wire or campagnolo type on alfas, with a few exceptions such as
lotus wobbly web. The sprite pattern is the same as a mini, if it helps
any.
Minilites came in around 66-67 and you may be hard pressed to find any
non proprietary alloys from the period you mention.
