    I have a set of original 14" alloys in the garage off a Eunos Roadster. From memory they are in pretty good condition (no chunks out of them from kerbs) and all have tires, though 2 are low tread and can't remember what the others are like.

    I could have a closer look if you're interested?

    Yes please. And a picture of one if you could or even a link on Internet as there are two different types of the standard wheels.

    Thanks

    It's this type of wheel - http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/609/image029d.jpg (first image I found on google!)

    Will have to dig them out tomorrow as will have a few things to move, but will get some photos of them too.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you...

    Here are the wheels. As said previously they're in pretty good nick for their age. One wheel has a slight kerbing (see 2nd photo, and not done by me may I add!) but could probably be touched up quite easily.

    Third photo shows the tread. The Bridgestones on the left have about 3mm of tread left, where the Goodyears on the right have about 6mm. The tyre shown on the left has a nail in it (near the top of the photo) but couldn't comment on how far in it is, but probably not too much of a prob as they're low on tread anyway.

    Let me know if you're still interested, and if you'd like any more info.
