Guest DoTheDrew888 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I got these wheels at a swap meet a little while back. I was told that they were Minilites but Im not so sure. They have the brand name "Western Wheels" cast into the back. I have heard that this brand makes Minilites or that they make Minilite repros, but no real clear anwser. The wheels are ten spoke 14x7 and weigh 15lbs with a lug pattern for Z cars. They also have polished center caps that go along with them. Anyone have any idea what they really are? Also, Ive had several offers to sell them and I am wondering what would be a fair price for them? The wheels are in very good condition, all are straight with no curb rash. They could probably use a new coat of paint because the gold is ugly and peeling a little. I was actually planning on bead-blasting them and powder coating them in gunmetal. Heres a link to a picture of the wheels... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/769348/4 -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Zone Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have a set of those too and I think you are correct they are called minilites. For price they are worth what ever someone will pay. Some people like them others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ-E Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I had a set with one wheel having a slight wobble, they were at best a dull polished look and I had a guy buy them from me for $350! So they are worth whatever whoever is willing to pay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentyfourouncer Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Those aren't Minilites. Minilite is one company and Western Wheels is another. Those are essentially a knock-off of a minilite wheel made by Western Wheels. I have a set and think they look pretty good, in a very classic way.

Guest DoTheDrew888 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I figured it was something like that. Do you have any more info about them? I still haven't decided if I want to sell them or keep them for my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
