The mini 1100 special came with exacton wheels. You can get aftermarket exacton style wheels such as the force racing split rim wheels. Value would depend on what the wheels are, as i would imagine force racing split rims to be more expensive than mini special alloys. I have a set of mini special exactons powdercoated white to go on my estate once the S brakes are on. I paid about £20-£25 for them with 4 legal, albeit a bit rubbish, tyres. However, I think I got these very cheap as i have seen them priced at over £100 without tyres at shows, but I would not like to say how much theyre worth, as i simply dont know. Theyre lovely wheels though.

Same here, a 78 with a tweaked 1275. Its not on the road yet though. There's a pic of it in the 'introduce yourself' section under 'Ello then'. Any pics of yours about? Mini special exactons are 5 inch wide if that helps at all. Are you thinking of getting some or just wondering?

Looks good. I think that the exactons suit the estate perfectly, a nice, modest and relatively individual wheel. If you are looking to fit a set to your estate may i suggest that you make sure that they will fit over the 4 pot calipers, as some 10 inch alloys, such as mambas(i think) do not have sufficient clearance inside the wheel. This may be worth asking in technical, unless you already know.

yer ive got a set of mambas any they fit

[Austin]

I must be wrong then, sorry mate. Im sure i read something about 4 pots running extremely close to the wheel rim, up to the point that there is not enough room for balancing weights? anyway, if mambas fit then exactons should be fine

[minidub]

thats good then a cheers mate good luck with your estate and your other mini's

[Austin]

No probs, thanks matey.
