MiniLite Wheels
 

How rare are 15-inch Mini-lite wheels and how much does a nice set go for usually?

Re: MiniLite Wheels
 

Someone at TC had a set of four 15x7 for sale. I believe the asking price was either 1000 or 1200 for all four.
I do not remember if they were vintage or new.
I believe they were available in magnesium or aluminum alloy.

They are still being made, and can be ordered in custom sizes and offsets.

Don't know if this helps, but I have a set of magnesium 15x7 mini-lites from 1969 vintage..they are mint condition.. I paid 2k.... don't know if I paid too much???


And yes,they are available still..check out this set on my 64 Austin mini..they were ordered a few years agohttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...15661-mini.jpg

.... I believe that a company called "Western" also made a similar wheel....

Since we're talkin' MiniLites, I saw a set of 13's advertised a few days ago @ 425 OBO.

Those appear to be Western Minilite lookalikes. I would say worth $1000. The Westerns or Shelby Europa's don't bring as much as the real Minilites. There is a set of new (modern)made in England Minilites that are 15x8 on Fleabay right now for $1600. (they look like the set on the white 69Z.) I looked at them, but I can't clear 8's.

These have 4&quot; backspacing.

I think you probably need at least 4.5 inches of backspacing to make them work on a 1st gen Camaro.
