As im looking for new rims, im now thinking of 13X7" Ultralite anthracite deep dish for my Mpi SPORTSPACK

Now where IYO is the best place to get them, fast delivery, turned up without any dings etc.. Oyea and good price?
Are there any issues that i need to be aware of, ie added ball joint wear etc compared to my stock 13X6" ?

Thanks

Lacquer is so cheap, they'll look awful by the end of a winter, the build quality is so poor, some would class them as dangerous to be honest!

It's all well and good looking after your wheels, but huddersfields are a lot better quality, if you don't wash midland wheels ones every time you go out in a bit of moisture they're knackered, also you mean the mambas that aren't on your car anymore and saw the road for about 3 months at a push?

13x7 Deepdish anthracite wheels purchased from Huddersfield Mini Spares in 2007. After 5 years they still look good!

Nothing wrong with Midland wheels but then again it depends on how you look after your car.....Use an acid wheel cleaner from Halfords and any wheel would have lacquer peel.

Mine are fully polished bare alloy so no worries about lacquer peel anyway.

I didn't realise you could just polish the alloy and not have to protect it with some sort of paint. Is there not oxidisation of some sort? And how can I get my wheels from peeled lacquer to polish alloy?

I bought them already polished, no lacquer. You need various grades of wet and dry and polishing gear. A LOT of effort and it will oxidise again if you dont maintain it, which most dont. Takes commitment to keep them looking good.
