Never seen these before!
Original Gangster 4 lug wheels?
Are those even 15", they look pretty wide too?

I remember reading some article about a Speedwell equipped Mini a few years ago and thinking they look like a tiny four lug BRM!

Wow, the MINI BRM wheels have really come out of the woodwork lately.
I know of two other sets of 5 wheels for sale at the moment !

I have an old classic car mag from the early 90's at home with the Speedwell demonstrator Mini - an early '60's on ein pale green, fitted with a set of those wheels. What I could never work out was why the VW wheels were painted black with polished rims and ribs, but these are all silver?

They weren't all silver...They have been painted.

Mark Forster's website is great, isn't it? He's helped us out with a couple of Speedwell pics. Very helpful guy.

I reckon the wheels on Mark's site could be the set of NOS wheels PalRui found a few years back.
It'd nearly be worth buying a Mini Cooper just so you could run those wheels.
