Just thought of another reason for not fitting 13's.....it's against the rules in Historic rallying.

Good point! Ours is likely only to get used for hillclimbs, so it doesn't matter... If I could ever afford to take it rallying, it would only be on club events on Epynt, but that's as likely as me winning the lottery!

Yup.....don't need helmets for this kind of stuff.....not quite sure why though as we get up to some proper speed at some points. Good fun though.

Brad they are actually standard rover 12" alloys and not your old Minator's....still not used them! I ended up with two sets of the standard rover 12's with good tyres so used them...nothing special and not the best for grip but they are round and hold air and did the job.....next year I shall be rocking these....

Heaps of 12" steelies out there. Loads on ebay and cheap too. Nice set, painted black would look sweet on your machine.
