Default MiniLite Wheels

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

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.

It looks like the current production wheels have &quot;ENGLAND&quot; cast into them. I have a new set of 15x8 with 4.5&quot; backspacing for sale locally for $1200. They don't have the England cast into them and have hardened inserts, center caps and lugs(I think) all new.
