Lightweight 12" Weels

Hi guys.My mini is approaching the last stage of his reconstruction.Now it's time to choose some sexy featherlight wheels.
In order to complement with italian law i will stick with 12" rims.I'm wondering if a wheel of this type exists(perhaps of the split variety...).
A 6.5 x 12 would be perfect!Thank you all

6X12 Spectums are nice and light but you might have a bit of trouble finding a set as they are becoming rare.

this is my car with them before i put my 13x8 revo's on...

Thank you very much.Personally i think that the old ones looked better.
In any case it seems that the spectrum wheels are no longer available(at least not brand new).
I looked at MB splits but they only do it in 6 x 12.My mechanic insists that 6.5 x 12 is the way to go with 165/60/12 tyres.
Are there any wheels of this size.Or i have to get one/off special one made only for me?Please help

They only ever did them in a 6X12, the same with MB as MB took over spectrum and used the same rims but made different centres.

I have contacted MB about wider rims as i wanted them to be wider but they said they wouldn't make any wider rims.

you might be able to have a spacer plate made to go between the two rims but i don't know how safe this would be? it would aslo make the wheel move further in so you would probably need to run them with spacers.

Mmmmm..I think i will go for a set of special made wheels.It's going to be painfully expensive.Good luck to me...
