Question Cheviot tridents??

My mate has an ea 5 spd falcon and came with a set of cheviot tridents,now what im after is info on them as we have taken them off to sell(for a nice set of 17s)and it has ROH stamped on the inside of each rim,are these originally made by ROH and the real original cheviot tridents?.Also we did'nt want to remove the rubber to measure how wide they are so we put a thin strip of steel from one side of the rim to the other and done this on the inner and outer parts of the rim then measured from one piece of steel to the other putting the measuring tape through the centre hole which measured 8 inches(i'm assuming thats how you measure them)they have 205/65/14's on them with good tread,worth good money?,cheers.

They would be 7" if it measures 8" on the outer.
Worth about 4/10ths of 5/8ths of stuff all.

Cheviot was bought out by ROH, that's why you see their manufacturing stamp on the back. They continued to sell them as Cheviot branded wheels.

I support the rim being only 7" wide, this is measured from inside lip to inside lip so the outside measurement will always be greater.

They'd be worth what a buyer is prepared to pay for them.
