Hi,

 

I really fancy a set of these - https://www.minispar...1904WHITE.aspx 

 

but i don't like the look of the big silver hub cap, do you think there's a way to fit a smaller flush one?

 

Trying to go for a similar look to the original John Cooper "mistral mod" wheels as featured here -

 

 

Any suggestions appreciated!

 

Ta!

Those large chrome centre caps are actually pretty accurate to the original Minilite wheels, probably why you see so many Minis running without the centres!

Silver not white, but I’ll shortly be selling a set of these, Minispares item C-21A1967, fitted with 165/70-12 Yokohama 539s.

Ooh those are nice!  I might well be interested, when you're ready, if you're willing to post them ...

 

Understood about the original look being correct with the big silver caps, for my car I wanted to keep the "Rover Cooper" look,  I just think the standard 4.5" wheels don't quite fill the arches enough for my taste now, the 5x12s look much better to my eyes.
