Looking into the possibility of fitting some Schmidt wheels. I know they don't do them for minis but there is always a way when you want something that much. Any ideas people?

The "Mini Special" wheels look kinda similar to the Schmidts and you can get them re-lipped for extra width by Force Racing.

I don't think the Schmidts come in 10", I've only seen 13"s. http://www.german-wh...-Line-3-tlg-13/ 399 Euros per rim!
 
The Compomotive TH comes in 13" and is similar to the Schimdts... http://www.comp.co.u...ection=th-32-13

It would be 13" that I'd get. I just think they are the best looking wheel ever.

question of taste, the Force racing modded rims do look much better that the std one.

If you get them in 4x100 PCD you could use wobble bolts to get them to fit the minis 4x101.6 (I think) PCD.

Not an ideal solution but not awful.

Or you could re-drill a set of mini hubs or get a set of adapters made.
