Actually, I think this is the second time this set has appeared on Ebay.

>and I quite fancy the look.  Any info appreciated...


They look a lot like the 13 x 5.5 wheels I had on my Midget.  Those were
made by ET.  They were slot-and-washer types for different bolt circles.
They were given to me by a buddy who had to get them out of a co-op race
garage rack.  I got the washers and nuts from Coyote to put them on the MG.

The ones on Ebay are obviously dedicated to the TR bolt circle, but
otherwise seem very similar.

I'd expect a big TR to look better with 15" wheels.  Also, I wonder how wide
these are and what the offset is.
