oo nice /\/\/\ they are forceracing ones i think. Dont know the exact name, awesome wheels though! gotta love splitties!

No no no....

do the mini cooper S brake converstion and Run 10"

10X6 at that

at least 6x10 and if you go for 7 or bigger and arent worried about cops then wood and picket arches look great and if you are wrried miglia arches...

Thats 10x5.5, next ones I do are going to be 10x7

^^^ the only problem with them is because of the excess width the extra stress on the wheel bolts they pull through the holes in the wheel so i would highly hghly reccomend reinforcing the holes from the back with a plate of some kind if your gna be running them on something mate

Won't be run on anything (maybe a trailer/kart at some point)... just doing it because i can really!

my mates go starmags on his supercharged 1.3 mini and looks the nuts

Take a look at the adverts in all the mini magazines, see what wheels they have for sale. Then use that as a guide to the wheels you SHOULDN'T buy!

The 10" mini wheels are called mambas look awsome on!

cooper s reverse rims or superlights were allways my favs when i had minis but both sets of those splits up top are the nuts

luke

just another couple of pics to try to tempt you

:thumbsup:

cooper s Rims, or banded steels in 10"

my 13's r a pain to clean n all the chrome has pitted on the front 2, oopsy

thanks for all the pics and comments people, he watched this thread last night as a guest...it will of helped him abit.

Thanks Tommy.
