I'm surprised how much them ones I linked on ebay went for!

I'm very pleased I got the set from Italy now! That about £80 more than I paid overall! And I've got near enough 4 set of hubcaps for £35.

Tim, your mini is stunning!

5 x 10 Wolfrace slots with A008R's - my ride height has come a lot since this picture!

 

Will post an update with same A032R's soon as a comparison.

I sort of fell for them by mistake, I had just two on the shell when I purchased it and then seemed to collect a full set.  They are light but very 70's ...maybe it's because people associate them with Escorts and Beetles?

I almost bought a set for myself last MITP in 12" size, they were cheap too. Didn't buy them in the end as I'm saving for panels at the min. True, they remind me of old American street rods too, probs why I like em soo much lol

The sprint looks very jap to me so i would say they are most likely watanabe wheels or possibly black racing. Both jap wheel brands.

They could easily be genuine Minilites aswell, as I'm sure they have a Jap distributor that can make them in any size/offset/width etc. Pretty sure someone on here has genuine ones from Japan to which they had their own offset made. You could be right though jonny f as they do look like watanabes

how longs a piece of string...

 

Most coilover kits are adjustable height. Lowest on the back your wheel will rub on the arch. On the front, it can go stupidly low due to the two holes in the bracket. You'll need to modify the subframe before it will hit the wing though.

 

Thats the standard height.

Genuine minilites. If i remember correctly they are ET - 14 /15. Originally only made for the japanese market, but a number of UK suppliers now sell them also.

yeh they are not watanabes. watanabe spokes don't dip back inwards at the outer edge. i'd say minilites. watanabes are   :mrcool: though!

These have been my fave mini wheel since imm09/mini 50. I saw a dull blue mk2 with them on and never saw another mini with them on so wanted them since. Finally went down to 7.5 brakes so I had to have these
