i sold a set of 6 10x5 cosmics on ebay a few months ago for £86! tyres were abit shot though, but the wheels were pretty good, so price is between £80 and £150 depending on condition

lol if there fat i might keep them thats all! Ill probably shot him some beer money 20 quid or so as i cant take them for nowt! ill get pics up when ive got them , prob give them a lil polish and clean first and check the tyres

Well here they are! Not as good as i thought but.... I got the old measuring tape out (cant find the stamp?) and im pretty sure there 6x10's!! One of thems had something put across it as you can see in the pic, but there definatly refurbishable!! Will these squeeze over 8" brakes? If not i think they'll be up for grabs!





So what do you think? lol

i like them! Looks like they've been curbed just a few too many times

Would look really nice when cleaned up unbent and painted up though!

They're 10x5's mate. And is it just the picture or aren't they even round!?

I just bought a set of 10x6's in need of a refurb but in good shape for £102! The bloke only listed them as Mini Alloy Wheels on eBay Didn't know what they were, to him they were just some old Mini wheels Obviously another 1 or 2 people found them too, but if he'd listed them as Cosmics he'd have got a lot more for them!

Here's one on the car before they get refurbed:



And no they won't fit over 8.4"s, as even though they are 10X6 they don't have as much of an offset as some other wheels like Wellers do.

how can you tell by looking there not 6's? I stood on the wheel so the rim edge was on the floor and slid a tape measure down the in side and got just over 6 inches?

[smoggy_clubman]

lol yeah there round just a lil curbed! just looked at your pic to mine and yours do look at bit deeper round the spokes. bugger!

[mini-man-dan]

If you look at the centre of my ones they are set back a lot more than the centres of yours. And if you measure from the very edge of the rim to the very edge of the rim the 6J's are just over 7" as the measurement is normally taken within the other lip
