These beauties are "real" Made-in-U.K. Minator-brand fake-Minilites, vintage 1993... and I'll include the tires with them if you like. Two of the wheels are in totally excellent condition. The other two wheels have minor scuffs as shown in the photos below.
The Goodyear GT2 195/60 tires are also vintage 1993 - they hold air just fine, they have good tread-depth, and they aren't dry-rotted. IMHO they're perfectly suitable for driving to the tire store where you should select stickier, newer rubber. (I was driving on these tires until just one month ago.)
All four "MG" center caps are included... they're serviceable but not pristine (see photo) - you can buy brand-new center caps from Moss Motors et al (for $10.65/ea).
I'm asking $400 for the set, plus shipping "at cost". (I get a pretty good discount on FedEx Ground - e-mail me your zip code if you want a rate quote - it should be less than $80 within the continental U.S.A.) If you want the wheels, but not the tires, the extra cost will be whatever the tire shop charges me for removal and disposal... but it'll save you shipping cost. If you live near Denver CO, pick them up and save shipping. I can accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc.

(notice that these wheels have steel inserts for the lug nuts to bear on)

(one wheel is scuffed right at the edge of the rim, as shown here)

(one wheel has miscellaneous scuffs and pits in its paint, as shown here)

(incidentally, combined tire/wheel weight is just 30.0 pounds per corner)


(here's what they looked like on my MGB GT)
I believe that a similar set of used Minators just sold here on MG Experience for $412.40.

Yep, they'll be a great deal for someone!
I just priced FedEx Ground shipping to two destinations for two potential buyers... so for general reference I'll post the results here:
Colorado to Northern Virginia
wheels only: $49.48 (plus whatever it costs to remove/dispose-of the tires)
wheels and tires: $98.96
Colorado to Alberta Canada:
wheels only: ~$80 (plus whatever it costs to remove/dispose-of the tires)
wheels and tires: ~$150
