Yes 12's in the middle (my car) I did love the look of the 10's on the other red mini though :mrcool:


Out of curiosity, what years are they?

The age old debate! I was always always a 10's guy, both of mine have had them, but I have to say I've been converted to really like 13's now, I'm looking for a rare set for mine to be honest... Check out Chris1992's car or Doormatt's or CPC's build threads on here

Though what wheel choice you go for is the look of the car, a more retro look 10's suit, more modified usually 13's

From left to right 1990, 1991, 1994 They would all have had 12's on originally.

I agree, I have always done my cars very retro looking, 10" wheels, nice and clean, period colours etc.

 

I want to do something totally different this time, much more custom, crazy paintwork and stuff like that. I have always thought of 13" wheels as being a bit more custom too. ive been thinking of looking for something from other cars and adapting the hubs/drive flanges to a different PCD to fit them on. it might open the options up a little.

Thanks man, yeah those would be my dream wheels, but they're so rare! Pretty chuffed with the Force wheels though haha. They cam to exactly £634.80 for a pair before tires.

Personally, I love 10's.  Right now I have 10's with group 2 race arches.  I do like the look of 10's with sportspack arches though.  Might give that a try in the future.
