I am in the process of getting my mini just the way I want it and now Iit's time to choose new wheels and arches. I don't want really big wheels or deep dish so I really like the 12x5.5 Ultralites. I also really like the W&P arches and would love to see if anyone has this set up on their mini and if so could you post some photos so I can see what it looks like.
If you have any other suggestions which arches would look good with 12x5.5, i would love to know before I part with my money. The reason I am set on 12x5.5 is because I like the Anthracite Ultralites from Mini Sport.
Thanks,
Jonathan

That does look very nice and exactly what I hoped it would look like. Thanks for posting the picture, I think it's made my mind up.

Just be aware that you may need to cut away a bit of the bodywork so the wheels dont catch when turning!

I had a feeling I might have to do this. Is it a easy process to cut away the bodywork and what tools do you need? Will this effect how my arches will look?
