Would anyone know if these are original or aftermarket rims?

Thanks.

As far as I know alloys never an option on Shadow, look like Spirit/Bentley. Can't remember whether chrome was an option or not, but I think anything "goes" as long as one paid! They look 15 ""?

Looks original to me. I had the exact same wheel on my 1989 Bentley Mulsanne S, with a Bentley center cap however.

Flying Spares has a set, not chrome. Definitely RR wheel.

definitely original Rolls-Royce wheel.
Some were chromed and some were painted. Those that were chromed by individual people (instead of the factory) made a pi55 poor job of it and the areas in between the vanes started to lift.

This model of wheel I think is called "turbine"
I have a set of these on my Continental and also my Wraith II.
