rare because ts the last of its kind because the rest were destroyed this one obviously was kept after development stage so that nobody else made the same mistake.

I don't mind , it'll go on the wall of the shed with the other oddball stuff , and it was CHEAP ... Curious as to what it is though .

I've seen them before I was jsut kidding, seen them on this historic machinery and farming thing I went to in Sale, Vic many years ago. Also seen them on go-karts. The orange part is plastic yeah or similar compoud??

Nope , all alloy , it's a road wheel for a mini , just not sure who did them as it looks something like a 70's V8 wheel more than a mini wheel . Besides , somethings got to keep the clubman GT wheel company on the wall , only got one of them too .

They look like the Dragway 5 spokes used on a lot of old aussie cars. Except they are 4 spoke Possibly a limited edition run?

I know Mooneyes used to make this style of mag as well, and did a lot of custom gear. Maybe it's a Mooneyes custom? Maybe I'm full of crap? We'll never know... (about the first one anyway )

<EDIT> Turn out Dragway do make a 4 spoke as well. I'm sure you can order these in sorts of sizes.

well maybe then I haven't seen them lol.... the ones i saw in Sale were I don't know about the go-kart ones I'm guessing alloy as it was amature level racing that I saw them on it. I though 10" big for go-kart. Definitely very much like old skol V8 wheel.

Either way great for any collection who know they actually could be rare and you've got somethhing else Mini now Ian woohoo!! keep that collection of assorted goods, cars and parts growing.

Yea I thought that....like the good 'ol XU1 Torana

I saw that on fleebay also...Pffft and only 1

I don't know about the wheel but the tread pattern on the tyre looks like a Dunlop Aquatread. (Just the thing for all those that think that they were standard fitment on the Aussie Cooper S ) but I know different!

I have a set of those on one of my cooper Ss. & i believe they`re "Amos" ...made by an old fella (by the same name) just down the road from here at Colmslie ,Brisbane way back. My dad actually knew him but as far as i know he`s died recently (like only a few years ago) no possative about that tho

Oh (edit) & i`d be interested in it as a spare form my set ?????
