They make the MINI in a cabinet model?
Well, they're 18s. Probably a BSA brand or something. . . If it were one of the more popular brands we would have an answer faster or I would know them. Wheels are kind of my converted religion.

I don't believe they are GT1's for a couple reasons:
1) I have not seen GT1's look THAT good on a Mini!
2) Look at the spokes, they aren't split on the red Mini. It's like they are solid spokes with indentations. GT1's are split.
3) Centercap is black on the red one...I know many people swap out caps though.
4) Don't the spokes look like they come more to a point on the red one?
Hmmmmm, I'm not sold that they're GT1's.

I hereby name those wheels...."Albert".
That classic pickup has sooooo much non-standard for a Mini pickup. Looks to me like it has a v-tec (or some other non A-series engine) in it, the flares are all wrong and the petrol cap is in the wrong place. The tail lights are wrong....
It's a nice piece of work, but totally not an original Mini pickup.

The wheels look great, pity we can't ID them.
I also like the bumper a lot. After paint, I guess that's a pretty expensive piece... Just a niggle, but the wheel flare line could have been curved a little more to give it a nicer appearance--a curve to follow the wheel well rather than the straight line down to the lower lip which seems incongruent.

Well I stumbled on the owner of the wheels. The car "WAS" owned by a NAM member that lives in Switzerland by the name of MimMau. I found a post that he had made to introduce himself. He say's the wheels are called barracuda "lotus" and are a 8x18. He has a site that you can view all of his pictures of the car at (www.mimau.ch).
