are these contessas? rodney says they are. i reckon they look pretty sweet, they have good tyres on them (set of 4), they could do with a cleanup though. the tyre size is 165/70R10

what are they worth?

They appear to be LS contessas - can be used on clubbies without flares.
They will sit inside the guard.

the bloke we got them from said they stick out when you dont have flares on??? the width is wider than standard...

But the offset is the same as the stockie.
I *think*... i'd really need a side profile pic.

They are standard mini offset so if you fit them to mini without spacer drums or disc brakes you will not need flares. If you have disc brakes or spacer drums they will stick out about 1 1/2 inch's, needing flares.

Actually hard to tell from that angle, they are definately ROH Contessas, 10x5's but the offset is hard to judge just like that. Go take another picture from a lower angle (like 45 degrees) to the one above so we can see if the 8 nuckles are flush with the outer rim of the wheel.

If they are flush then they are LS offset contessas. If you currently don't have stepped drums then it will definately rub against your rear wheel well and front suspension arms etc.

I currently have a set of LS offset wheels on Lillee and 4 stepped drums and there are still rub marks on the inner rear wheel guard area.

If the nuckles sit 1- 1.5 inches inwards from the edge of the rim then they are regular mini offset wheels.

If they are LS contessas, beware, they are not as sturdy as mini offset ones and tend to crack between the nuckle and inner spoke thingy, trust me, I have 3 cracked ones right here to prove it! The mini offset ones are thicker and hardier. Well that's not entirely true but I'd check if they already have cracks on them or not just to be sure

Here is a pic of Lillee's new S contessas



Note how the nuckles are nearly flush with the outer rim edge. Take another pic at a lower angle than my pic...
