There were very few alloy wheels for Minis pre '66, Rosepetals, Minilites (just about) Speedwell (just about) and Cosmic, all introduced mid 60's though Coopers had their Rosepetals up and running in late 1963. Lots of alloys came in 1966/7 like Dunlop D1, Exactons, Cosmic S type wheels etc.

EARLY to MID 60's.
It is realistically Rosepetals & Cosmic MK1's in alloy & standard 3.5", 3.5" S & 4.5" S in steel.
All others were definitely Mid to late 60's.
