Most original Mk1 S rims were Birch Silver on the outside and a Reddish Brown on the inside, closest colour would be Indian Red. (see the rebuild aricle in Mini Experience}

Red or grey primer... I bought four brand new wheels about 30 years ago. Two came in red primer and two in grey.

Cheers, Ian

Excellent LP883s with no gutter gash or "history" etc should fetch 120-150each in today's market.
Original LP882s can be as much as $1500/set :shock: now...the repros don't look quite right

Yep, I paid just over $400 for a set of 4 - not a very good investment I'd say

Could be worse, could have been £445.00 :lol:

Not only have they added the "Cooper S" tax but also the "BMC Works" tax.
