No photo as Photobucket account now suspended. I have tried to find a photo of theme on a car or brochure but have not found them.

I have them on facebook marketplace at £100. All offers considered

BLURB....

Plans never came to fruition so these are cluttering the garage.

These are 4 inch PCD and were fitted to the later Viva HC. Apart from 1 rim dent (2nd photo) and a lot of rust they are as they left the factory. Supplied with the 4 original centers and 16 chrome nuts.
The 3 tires are in good physical nick but I would not trust them.
Very unusual and pretty rare. Perhaps upgrade your standard viva, keep a second set or band them. Hard to value so all offers considered.

Not what I imagined as a minilight copy, I must admit.

These are very late GLS wheels. Extremely rare but not necessarily sought after..... Yet!

Good to see them complete with hub centres and nuts.

One of the reasons I bought them. Did Vauxhall call them anything. Find no references anywhere. There is what looks like a Dunlop stamp on them which did surprise me.

I opened your link, used the snip tool to grab enough of it, saved it locally, then used "upload attachment" below this reply box, and uploaded it to the forum.

Yes, they were made by Dunlop. A similar style appeared in the very early 70's as a dealer upgrade. I think Vauxhall had run out of Rostyles so had to find an alternative for the very short production run that remained.
