I've been trying to find some but so far no luck,
So what I'm chasing is at least a pair of these babies.......

They are very similar to a Kombi rim except they dont have hubcap clips, instead have 3 raised bumps like normal type 3 rims.

Any help would be appreciated

Very early ones did have the slotted rims and yes, they are extremely rare and worth that much. I have seen them change hands for more in the US with serious Type3 collectors. So please refrain from posting negative comments if you don't know what your taliking about...let's try and maintain respect in this forum.
