[sally the mini]

Full set of wheels should be around 450 - 650£ depending on which wheels and from where you buy them. About that conversion, it's possible to convert few wheels in to split rims so that the center piece is used from the original wheel.

o rite kool i need some new wheels

[the_soon_to_be]

if you speak to carl austin (fast carl) he converts mini exaction wheels as found on mini specials..

he will do the lot delivered back to you for £256, which works out to be a bargin for 2 piece splits

where as IMAGE ones are £800 upwards

You can get certain types of wheels converted into Splitties, fastcarl on here does them & he charges 65 notes a corner.

I'm liking your mini and also the second mini in almond green. Do you know what wheels are on the almond green mini and are the arches the group 2 extra wide ones the same as yours? Where did you get your arches from and do you use wheel spacers (maybe you have disc brakes on your mini) on your wheels as i have 10x6 revolution wheels an they don't stick out anywhere near yours. Thanks for your help.

Hiya, the wheels on both minis are 6x10" MB racing split rims and the arches are grp 2 xtra wide (group 5) i got mine from huddersfeild mini spares but they all do them!! No spacers its simpley the wheels!

There's a thread on the same page as this one that shows Carls 13" split rims.

And whether or not a set of alloys can be made into splits is dependent on how much meat is around the centre. Otherwise there'll be nothing to bolt the rim to...
