If I can't find another 2... i'll sell them to you!

Ok so IF these are just no name trailer rims... would they be strong enough for use on a Mini?

Depends , some of them were made to only handle small boat trailers (tinny and 4 hp outboard) but should have a max weight cast on them , some are only 200 kg per wheel . Yes , with 4 of them it takes the weight to 800kg for the car but that's a static 800kg , not a high speed fanging it around a corner 800kg . Give them a good clean and see if there's anythign else marked on them or cast into them anywhere .

Globe made aviation rims in 10/11/12 inch could be some of those. Many of them ended up on trailers and trolleys when they did their landing cycles.

Interesting... hence the name 'Globe'???

So what are they, Matt?

yeah, as far as i can work out , they are early model Globes, but very few are left simply because firstly not that many were made & 2ndly they didn`t last,,, as strong as they may look, well ,,,, they`re not,,, they`re particularly weak & i had my set trued up when i first got them & cost me an arm & a leg to have done , i don`t race on them, just have them sat on one of my :"S"s

I expect what rims were made ended up corroding away on boat trailers, but like i said, i don`t believe very many were made anyways & then along came rallymaster/sprintmaster rims.

even rarer would be Aubry Amos`s mags,,, i have a set of those too & again not many of those were made either,,, very rough casting too they were & as far as i can tell from talking with the old guys who worked for him here in Colmslie, Brisbane, he also made some bolt on, cast alloy hub caps that looked almost identical to the mag wheels he made ,,, so you could buy mag wheels,,, or you could buy the cheaper option of alloy hub caps that looked the same

pic of that wheel on one of my "S"s here-->
