Hi Guys,
Today in my business travels I stopped at a German Auto Repair shop that works on Porsche, VW's & BMW's. They were cleaning out old stuff that was on the shelf for many years. I made a low ball offer on this wheel & got it. The price was about a couple trips to Starbucks for coffee. Here is what I got & need help to identify it's value. One (1) NOS MINILITE England 6-1/2" x 15CH (33Y) five (5) bolt wheel. Here are a few photo's with misc. markings. They only had this one wheel. Help, what did I buy???(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) & what are they worth??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

thomas, for someone running that style and size, in that condition i'd guess $200 at a minimum.

Thomas,
That's a sport minilite, it aluminum and weighs 18 lbs. I used to have a set. Worth about 200-250. I saw a set they convinced someone they were very vintage and got about $400. Maybe if is 5X130, one of those people will buy it for a spare. Hope that helps. |

Sweet, that will make a nice shelf ornament. I love that stuff.
And you know what happens. Some one comes along in a few years who has three of the same wheels for sale. |

It's hard to pass up a bargin. Why do we do this things?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) T Attached thumbnail(s)
