Love the wheels! What arches are they? And do the they scrub whilst driving?

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

The arches are commonly refered to as Bullet arches. They came from the factory on the 1996 German limited edition Silver Bullet Mini, hence the term Bullet arches. I have also seen them called German Sportspack arches. They are very similar in size to the later style Sportspack arches as the Silver Bullet Mini also came with 13x6 wheels. However, the Bullet arches are a bit more angular than the Sportspack arches and they also do not extend as far down behind the bumpers.

I get no rubbing at all, but it's not super low and I am also running Hi-Los with the green (stiffest) springs.

Cheers,
Brian

Hmm very interesting, will certainly look into these arches. They look spot on!

I put one of my 10" wellers on my clubby today too see what they look like.

go on then...what width did you choose in the end? looking like 7's?

[Ben10Raw]

What would you say are the best looking arches for 10 x 5.5's? need some help after quite a wide/race look.

[jonny f]

If your after a wide racey look you would really need some wider wheels than that! Unless they have a massive offset.

Either specials or grp2's would cover the wheels nicely. They are not that wide though.

You could put big arches on but your wheels would not fill them!

My wheels are about 5.5-6" wide covered with specials.
