Received 1 wheel today:

Good for a spare, but that's probably about it.

Those center caps are like 99 gold... A good set will sell well on ebay I hear. I have only 3 myself.

Hmm, thats a new one. It has an original shelby cap on it though (the ones that always fall off and thus are hardly ever seen anymore) Seth described to me some similar wheels he saw in a junkyard in vermont. Are they 15x5.5?

center cap has broken tabs, I've got two others that are good.

Real deal UK minilites, with yellow paint underneath even. Guy had a relative down the road from me and delivered them for free.

If a SAAB Works car was put into a time capsule and shot into space in 1977 and fell back into the earths atmosphere today, I'm pretty sure it would land in Luke's back yard.

I don't think that wheel is a BG wheel either. (or is it GB?)

Luke, I have some Minilites that look like that too but I think they were always silver. Was there any difference with the ones that were yellow?
