I want to get some new wheels from Midland Wheels but cant decide on Minilights or Superlights.
Am i right in thinking that the Superlights are deep dish?
In which case, is the offset different and would i need wider arches because they would stick out a bit more?
my mini is currently fitted with the standard 12" factory fitted minilites (+black plastic arches) but they are looking a bit tatty. I just wanted a straight replacement really that wouldnt need any modifications. However, i do prefer the look of the Superlights...

mine are from midland wheels and are basically 5x12 minilights i think, they were on it when i got it.
they look pretty good, i think you can only get them with a polished lip now though.

yeah they look good. mine is a flame red so has the same paint job with the white roof. i was thinking of getting white wheels to match it, which do come with the polished rim but it looks quite good
i was just wondering about the offset with the deep dish superlights? will they stick out much or not enough to worry about?

Dont know if 12 inch wheels are the same as 10 wheels from Midland wheels which you can't get tyres on them.

hmm, thats not good
looks like only the deep dish design that theyve f'd up though, hopefully everyone knows how to make 12s properly. if i do get the MWS then i shall give them a good inspection....
unless you know any other places i can get some decent white 12" Minilites or Superlites? Huddersfield was the other option, couldnt find any more?
cheers

Huddersfield, Minispares. Have a look at Catton Mini show on the 7 September. You may get a better deal.
