ANY Mini wheels are rare this side of the pond now! I think I know the ones
you're talking about. I just pulled my moth eaten 20 year old Mini
catalogue off the shelf and have a page of wheels. The J.A.P wheels are
Gemini (5x10) and Mercury (6x10). Most likely you've got the Gemini. Let
me describe them: they're round, and silver...er um, no no no, start
again...6 spokes, each spoke is kinda triangular with a squarish hole in it,
painted black between where the spokes meet the rim, the rim itself is ~1"
wide and bare aluminum. The centre is recessed from the spokes and is
bare aluminum too. Standard tapered seat nuts are used rather than
sleeve nuts.
Got a match? I need a picture to confirm the above, so if you can stand to
post slug-mail, mine is:

P.S. Spring has finally broken here. In a week or so I may even go and
pull the Mini out of storage and try to crank it up! Now did I leave
20-50 in it? Better try to turn it over in 3 weeks......
