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.!!!)
