they were looseball up to at least 2004. have a look at the spokes as they put a little date stamp on them somewhere ( think its a little circle with a year ) i have looseball sets made in 01 and 04
they re released coloured in 2006 sealed bearing
if they havent got a date stamp then they could be from very late 85 or 86 when the plastic rear hubs started appearing

They have no date stamps and appear to be sealed, I remember my new ones I bought having a hole in the spoke for a reflector

Moza:
ive had a proper look and found a circle with 2 09....im guessing Feb 2009 so they aint oldies lol Thanks for all the replies ive been educated :daumenhoch:

Jaan:
No wonder they're so bright!!!

Naughty for the seller of the wheels to say that he'd had them for "years" unless by that he meant more than one...

brummie:
yep its a tell sign if they are used and advertised as early and being very white then check the spokes for dates
most people i have spoken too didnt realise they were dated from at least 2001
and being looseball up to at least 2004 as well its easy to buy these thinking they are mid 80's
even the sellers probably think they are mid 80's too
