What do they look like? Are they copies of the old Minilite design? In
my opinion those were the best looking alloy wheels ever made. Most
modern alloy wheels look like star wars rejects. Do you have an address
and phone number for the supplier?
Here in the U.S., Moss Motors has reproduction Minilites at about $160,
and The Roadster Factory has a wheel that looks very similar to a Minilite
(don't remember the maker) at about $200. Those prices are approximate -
I'm not near my catalog collection at the moment.
