Mini wheel dictionary is how i managed to narrow down the wheels I have to the two brands. It doesn't really have much description about identifying marks - other than the Aldics being a more refined-looking wheel with a polished outer rim. I suspect mine may be aldics because of that,

I had all of the wheels and centers, Cleaned, polished, painted and clear coated, as 1 lot. That is when I found the center caps were different.  I no longer own the car, so I can not help with the ID of the wheels. You could check the miniwheeldictionary . Sorry I could not add the link, to the site.

Thanks Jay - Good to know. What's the best way to tell them apart? The wheels I have don't seem to have ANY brand or size markings on them anywhere that I've been able to find. The outer edge is polished and center is more of a raw "sand cast" finish that looks to be clear coated.

I had a set of Aldic's, on my  mini.  I also had some Ward's for spares. The center caps, are slightly different dia. (they would not interchange).

Looking for 4 center caps for "Ward" or "Aldic" 10" minilite-style wheels in good shape. Anyone have one in their stash that they'd like to sell? I just acquired a set from a friend - but they don't have the center caps.

Thanks in advance for any help!
