Alloys look like classic Mini 1100s wheels but they were 10 inch (I think)

Look like trailer wheels to me.
It's a unique sort of really bad paint they use for them!
These things can be 4inch PCD, or some other sizes, but the 4inch mini hub compatible ones normally have a cutout for a grease nipple.
Offset varies as well.
Some of the trailer parts vendors will have info on their website.

The first one is indeed a special Mini wheel, there was a set on Project Binky originally. If it's a set of them you've got I may be interested in them.

I had an '83(?) Mini Sprite in Primula Yellow that came, factory fitted, with a set of those alloys. If I remember right, it was one of those desperate attempts to bling up the final Minis to get the last few sales... Stripe, blacked out chrome, tinted windows, nice seats and a proper dash'.

Is the alloy from the 1979 Mini 20 limited edition available in silver or rose gold?

Now I'm doubting myself - right alloy, wrong colour for the OP's one.
