I agree with Thomas. Roger has England made Minilites on a Roadster and
they are different then Mike Young's wheels. To me they look like my EMPIs
with the more round spokes that stand out more and come close to the center
hub which makes lug nuts hard to come by due to tight clearances. Some say
the AR wheel is close to the EMPI - OK Mike what are these wheels.

Nope, they are not genuine Minilite (made in England).
On the race car they are Minilite aluminium type.
Magnesium type have different spokes and is the
design others copy. The 8 spokes are not rounded
but have a more oval cross section.
