Yeh, GB Alloys, theyv'e been around for many years, my mate had some in the late 1970's as they were a cheap(er) copy of the classic Minilite. They are good, strong wheels though and once cleaned (or maybe stripped and repainted) will embelish any classic Mini (value = £10 each if in good condition?)

I *think* they are one of the few varieties of alloy wheel that you can use without having wheel arches as well! but im not 100% sure, its only what i've been told

Yes, I think they were borderline but you generally got away with them? My mate moulded in some very subtle arches which were more of a "lip" than an arch, but did look good - see photo (don't forget this is from late 1970's so no mickey taking about the long hair, flower power shirt, flared jeans etc.!!!)

gonna do them up and put them on the clubman estate,there 5j so no need for arches i think will be tricky maybe,
