I'm sure you'll sell those very easily. You can get mini lites alloys which I think look good. Tho im sticking my standard wheels and hub caps.

I'm not even sure banded wheels are legal these days. Any 4" PCD wheels will fit - but more readily available in 13" size ex Spridget etc. The wider van LP917 wheels obviously fit and are much better, but expensive now even if you can find a set. Some Traders sell a replica of that wheel - but some have had 'mixed' (shall I say) reports of concentricity and balance etc.and not inexpensive either... Or buy 'Minilites' from the likes of JLH. There are NO modern car wheels that fit!!!

if you do want to sell them you should get a good price for them,

Is the astra or cavalier 14" wheel still a good way to get wider wheels, its where you cut the middle out of the morris wheel and weld it into the vauxhall one, i want wider wheels with a deeper look and hub caps, or had someone got a better way?
