those wheels are either early spectrum but lok in too good condition so maybe the later copy type available from minispeed,and they look at least 6.5" poss 7" looking at the tyre,

looks like the fronts are 10x6 and the back are maybe 7x10?

[daddycool]

They look similar to these 10x7:

The wheels on that mini look like as said, the Spectrum split rims and could be 10x7 on the rear as the deep dish/offset looks far greater on the rear compared to the front. I am also looking for some clip on mirrors like the on shown on the mini.
Regarding top speeds and rpm. I am achieving 85 mph at 5000 or 5500 rpm and its a standard 998cc, would probably go to 90mph as will rev to 6000rpm.

^ Thank you. Im a big fan of the acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid). Im very new to Mini's but I have no idea why the rear is higher than front. Im guessing the suspension up front is blown and I need new ones.

Nice car. I had mine fitted with similar wheels, without arches too; back when he was still in one piece and not stripped down sat in my garage. Picture below when he was exhumed after his twelve year sleep prior to being stripped down.

The ride height on yours looks fine to me, they are always a little higher on the back
