i recently bought a set, what i want to know is how rare are they in 4x100 6j wide et13 fitment. Ive no intention of selling them on as i fear that i would struggle to find another set. I take it going on the offset they would have been intended for rwd fitment. Also I have a centre cap missing and one is damaged, are they still available new? I know they are pretty common in 7 and 8j The plan is to fit them to my skoda pick-up

I cant remember seeing any at 6j when I was looking for some of the micra, like you said, they're normally 7-8j Depending on the car, but I would say et13 on a 6j wheel is pretty weak too, so they might be rare, but it wouldnt add to the value of a normal set. You can pick up 13x7 et-7 with budget tyres for just under £400 www.minispares-online.co.uk/?cat_id=1&sub_cat_id=13&prod_id=704I really like them all black too

what are the chances of that! you've posted a pic of my old polo gt! I'm not fussed as to what they are worth, as i don't plan to sell them. just interested in the history of them, what they were intended to fit. my ones are the ones pictured in my 1st post. they've actually cleaned up pretty well. was gonna repaint them, but i think i will leave them as they are for the time being.

I've got a set of 6"s, albeit in a different PCD to you. Took me a while to track them down! I think Alleycats were made in pretty high numbers in the 70's. If you look through old editions of Street Machine etc from the time, there are always some adverts from motor parts stores selling them. I think relatively few have survived though, for a variety of reasons, but mostly changing fashion meaning a lot would have been ditched in the 90's probably. Great wheels though!

Oh, and centre caps are rare but still not worth any money!
