Hi all,

Can anyone advise what the original wheels were on a 96 mini cooper?  And does anyone supply them still?

 

Cheers

4.5 x 12 Roverlites. On eBay all the time. Or you can get them from Midland wheels, minisport, minispares.

Unless you have sports pack arches then it's 6 x13 Rover Sports pack alloys. Again available from Midland Wheels.

What were they called then? I avoid Midland wheels, I get everything from either minispares or Huddersfield spares.

rover minilights are what they have always been known as.

 

actually roverlites sounds quite good its just that we don't need any more people coming along and making things up to confuse things.

 

the latest is everyone calling the RSP cooper Rover Special Production when the actual name of the department that developed it was Rover Special Products. the Chinese whispers soon become accepted fact and then you end up arguing with people who don't actually have a clue what they are talking about.

Yep fair one. Accepted.

Or John brown wheels, or whatever they are now choosing to call themselves.
