not sure if that link will work, fingers crossed!

 

13x7 compomotive TH, they also do an 8" wide which looks cool. what do we all think of these on a mini? something different for a custom look mini?

They look interesting and they lend themselves to painting the centre any colour you want. You need to find someone on here who could photoshop them onto a picture of a car. What tyre could you fit to an 8 inch rim?

185 tyres will look OK with a bit of stretch I reckon :)

Cool looking wheels, The 3 piece Comp turbo wheels are even cooler.... :shades: if you're lucky enough to find a set  :lol:

 

Force racing Turbo TF wheels are VERY much alike  ;D  and they look sick with a polished rim and gold center...and they come in 10s  ;D

most people stretch a 175 on an 8" rim

 

I'm surprised no one has them already to be honest

I had 13x8's with 175a stretched on. Hated the look, never got round to seeing how they felt but they had no give in them whatsoever. Saw sense before it was too late and sold them and got 10's.

I think I meant 175s......

 

Im running 175 Yokohama A539 front and Bridgestone Potenza on the rear.... on 7x13s..... 175s should stretch onto a 8x13 wheel...
