On E-Bay, don`t know whether the Wheels or the Tyres are new? And don`t forget later Chims went to 16`s all round around 2001

The wheels look nice but remember that SO1s are an old tyre so they'll be hard and lack grip as well as being undersized - 225s should be 225/50/16 or 225/55/16.

They must be worth £500 for the wheels alone, I bought two of the last 16' from the the factory 2+ years ago and paid £178 each plus vat

Price is a little optimistic IMHO...

If you can get them for a decent price it must be worth changing the tyres straight away so you know you're on good rubber.

Price is OTT, they're not Estoril's.

Factory Chimaera alloys are readily available second hand (and still new? - not sure).
