After all those years, I’ll found a set of swedish made JP Wheels. JP is the wheel designer Jack Possnert who design and cast this aluminum wheel for Minis from the early to mid 1970s at
Tunaverken AB in Eskilstuna-Sweden! The set I now is a proud owner of, is 7x10" and unfortunately painted in a horrific "late 1980s" yellow.. But the most horrific is that the original centre caps is gone a n d replaced with 100+ caps!
The original style on the JP wheel outer rim is "semi-polished" (I don't know the translation from swedish).
And painted in matt black.
It’s very hard to find pics on the original 10" JP Wheels on internet, so this is one i found for the moment
The centre caps is more hard to find, so I contact a Swedish VW/California Look guy. Because he made a blueprint a year ago of one JP cap, and order a batch of cap-set from a mechanic workshop who made them! (VW/Callook geeks in Sweden also like the 70s JP wheel, but in 5x14" dimension) My hope is he can make an repeat-order of them!

Re-make
This set of JP wheels is meant to be used on my Clubman for Track days, or Fast Road experience!
Finally an old advertisement from Tunaverken AB. The MK1 is "my" model.. The MK4 in the advert is 6x12" and very very difficult to find these days. But, in my opinion, the one and only reason for me to go from 10" to 12" wheels on a Mini!
well done.
