Ooooh my bad, i thought ulralight had the square-ish curve on the wheel where it connect to the middle to the edge. If that makes snese? & Superlights had the smooth ones?

Here for example:

Well thats what I thought ha! Clearly mine are rather rare, they also have the ultra light shaped centre cap badge but it says Superlight, maybe a early set or a Mid 90's set fitted to the car just after it was bought originally? Who knows, absolutely no history. Other than it was owned by an Army Luitenant and then swapped to the people I bought it from for a saab diesel.

It's the way to go, IMO. they also look epic with lows under standard arches. Which is why standard arches are staying, in black aswell

Yes, stupidly i had a set when i first got my Mini and sold them because they rubbed on the driverside arch and snapped it, so i sold the set. If im buying them again i think ill have to bend arch a little to stop rubbing.. It was only the drivers side, passenger side was fine.

Anyway 089dave, anyway to answer your question, this is the only photo i found of the rear of my Mini with the 5x12 superlights..

Picture here - Sorry for quality, the picture was taken from my phone camera as the picture was on my old phone.
