It depends what you mean by "original"
The LAT 70 wheels were not exclusive to sunbeam, they were actually made by an American wheel company and were offered on corvairs and a few other cars. Therefore they appear with several offsets and sizes. There were also several runs of them done with detail differences. If you can post a picture of the centre of the front of the wheel where the mounting point for the false spinners is we can assses if they are right for the sunbeams. Also do you have the matching spinners for them? What size are the wheels and what bolt pattern, are they 13x5.5 with a 4x4.25 pattern?

They do look like original wheels, but would need blasting and polishing. They are also missing the spinners.
Randy's point about the integrity is valid, though the lat70 are better than the lat9 pie cutters. Value would depend on buyer, keep in mind repros are available from sunbeam specialties, so that might give you a base to start from.

The cost to restore would be a couple of hours of labor I have a blasting cabinet and a lathe they have no major curb rash they would be easy to clean up. Thanks for the info

Value
relative term to be sure. I was shocked to see a wheel shop on the edge of a very rough part of town. The place was like a black lung disease coal mine. The price was unbelievably low and their was not a dust mask or respirator in sight. Your 13''s look fine and it's hard to know if this is a for sale or truly info wanted posting. It would not cost you a bunch to pretty them up with your own elbow grease to be sure, but at the end of the day you have uncertainty as to how safe they are. Their are several threads about the lack of 13" tires, and the only ones have a cluttered sidewall and a all season tread, just what you want on a Tiger
These are worth the most to a guy who has the smaller spinners if these are the proper center size. They are also good as a display set of rollers.

They will be for sale on Ebay after I clean them up I was just wondering what a fair price was to ask I could not find any that have sold or any used ones for sale to base the price on
