I thought standard wheels are a lot thinner than 5j and I don't hear anyone asking/ looking for 5jx13" "smoothy" wheels for the saloons, for the heralds I hear everyone begging for set.
Just wondered if the seller may have been mistaken, if he is then they are a bargin for someone with a herald spit 😉

These are standard Mk2 wheels (Nic Mk1 were 4 i/2).  I think there are plenty around and can be refurbed for LOT less than this .......... I may very well have some for you Dave.  

Get them blasted, phosphoric acid in the joint to kill off any residual rust, mist coat of etch primer, then lots of coats of 'wheel silver' spray.
Powder coating can sometimes be a problem because it may chip when tyres are fitted.
