What wheels to choose?

Post by Benny »

Well lads. The fathers mini build has got to the stage where we are looking for wheels but we don't know what ones to go for. There are so many replicas out there and we don't want shitty wheels. He wants minilite style wheels but what brand etc he doesn't know. My question is what would be some of the best quality brands of wheels that would suit his '88 mini. Looking for 12 inch and the car will have standard rover arches fitted. Wheels, sizes, offsets, pics, where to buy please discuss. Thanks. This is the mini. Image

I have a pair of brand new Yokohama A539's

also have these 12" wheels with nearly new Yoko's, they are presently on the Marcos and have only done 150 miles, I'm thinking of changing to 10" and will be looking out for replacements at the IMM so these would be available after that.

I also have a good 12" steel with decent tyre that would do for a spare too.

A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.

They are nice wheels but I needed 12's. Bought minilites brand new so this can be locked. Thanks to the lads who actually replied.
