7x13 superllites, midland wheels sell them

 

I dont think they're Superlights. The spokes end too soon. On superlights they go all the way to the dish. It could just be the angle though!

 

 

they are not 7x13 superlites. It is a 13 inch wheel but if u look closely the spokes look much bigger (not the angle of the photo) and has got only a small dish. Those wheels will be ideal for my mini wit the watson frame because of the less dish offset

 

13X8 minilites according to this for sale advert -

http://www.motorspor...cars/18426.html

I believe alot of info can be found about this car with a simple google search of 'Z cars vtec mini carbon' - I'd search abit harder but im at school at the minute :gimme:

 

ahh crap they found out to be ford wheels! then i need to modify my hubs >_<  

 

 

Yea you could hit a problem there, if you drill the hubs youl then have to find somewhere to put the splines in it. 

 

id probably think you would be better drilling the wheels.  

 

 

Or you tap a thread into the drilled hole in the hub and use a wheel bolt.

 

 

yea but will you have enough clearance on the side of the disc center. i know on later cars anyway you need to remove the flange to replace the nuts and they aren't overly big on the o/d 

 

so the problem you may have is you can re drill and tap them but when it comes to tighten the bolt it may make contact preventing it from turning, which in return would mean you wouldn't be able to to tighten it enough.

Yeah thats a possibility. I was just throwing ideas around. I think you could re-drill and tap a thread with some though, you could probably spacer out the wheel to give you the clearence to tighten the wheel down.

 

Re-drilling the wheel is easier, but it looks bad. You could always make some adpaters.

If you can look under and see a glimpse of daylight at sunrise then you can drive it

Don't you have to have like 'lowered' type adjustable shocks first?

I ram mine pretty low on standard shocks with little movement left in them for a while, I think the mini suspension being quite stuff anyway helped. But people wanting their cars really low and then expecting them not to scrub or scrape from time to time are daft to be honest
