Just seen this thread. That's going to be one nice mini! I just think some Cooper steels would look cool though.

Thanks lads it would be nice to have it that low but it would spoil the whole original thing. Would be nice tho with some low profile tyres fitted and maybe some spacers to bring it out wider. Not sure if low profile tyres are available for 10 " wheels? Cheers Tom
