12 x 5.5 superlights

Post by briain »

I'm thinking about putting a pair of these on my mini mainly because they say these wont interfere with the steering at all tired of hearing the scraping noise. But my main question is I currently have sportpack arches on would the wheels look silly in these and in the future I want to try migila arches on the front but keep the rear sportspack arches any thoughts about this if someones done it and got pictures of their car it would be a great help

You'll need to go for 12 x 6 superlights to get the right look with the sportspack arche.

What alloys have you on it at the moment?

Had them on my mini at first. Didnt think they suited the sportspack arches as they wern't wide enough even with spacers. Refurbished and fitted 6x12's last week and they really set the car off. I have loads of photos with the standard wheels if you want a look
