Looks like they aren't made new anymore, so going to be a very secondhand set. There is a set of 4 on eBay, but they are ventilated, which is what I thought they all were. The Alexis wheels are solid?

If its these wheels:

They look more like Mk2 Sprite/ Mk1 Midget which are much less desirable and comparatively ten-a-penny. I'll ring a mate and see what he's got.

Mistron should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'm sure I have a set of both Mk1 sprite and Herald wheels as my car has a BMC rear axle, Herald fronts

I could do you a full set, but from memory thay are all fairly well used, so would need a blast & paint.

If that would help I can dig them out to check

Found some photos of the Sprite wheels (I must have thought of selling them at some point?)
