As the title say's... would like to hear peoples opinions might even make a poll out off it if someone hasn't already,

Post picture if you have them.

I'm a mini noob so don't have a fully formed opinion yet although I have two 13inch Revo five spokes and would like to make a full set and am a big fan off the four spokes with some big dish.

I like seeing banded wheels on mini. Seen 10s and 13s, don't think I've seen 12s banded though...

got to be 13" banded steelies... dont see many, but theyre so damn retro!  :lol: ... i also love anything 13" and deepdish (ultralites, allycats, etc) 

 

ive never really been a fan of revos. personally i think a wheel should have 5 spokes or more or it looks a bit wierd

Banded steels for me also! they look the dogs danglies 

Im currently on 10x7 ones but I have seen a red mini with white 13" bands which also looks awesome (but the tens give much better feel and handling)

Thanks :D

The writing looks boss but I need to redo it about once a month as it comes off quite easily

I dont think there are any 13s that have the right fitment for a mini, the red one with white bandeds I think was using adapters or wobble bolts 


^^^^^^^^

Thats the one I was talking about, looks amazing

Yeah. Mine are 4x100 PCD, but 8" wide. Bit too wide...

Miglia arches? mine are actually 7.5" wide and it also depends on the offset

Personally I think your 10s look better than the 13s, but so tempted to have a play with my wheels on the mini :D yeah the offset isn't too bad on mine.

Edit: although I don't think I'd dare run them on the mini though. I don't like the idea of them wobble bolts, and I bet the PCD adaptors cost a fair bit. Would look awesome, but probably drive like a pig.
