You guys don’t think it’s a little too much poke? I’m on the fence but just went down to the garage and it’s not as bad as I thought. Still need to dial in the rear then square it all up at the ailgnment shop.

nice car. great wheels 

 

track on the back is perfect - lines up beautifully with the sill trim, shame the only real option to narrow the front track to match the back would be replace the disks with drums !

 

personally, any poke of an inch or more i think needs arches to blend the wheels into the bodywork - unfortunately no-one seems to make a decent 'small' arch extension any more (..cosmic anodised aluminium arches were a good option, but sadly NLA..)

Yes I agree with you KTS. I’llmpost up More pics after I get everything as good as I can get t than make the final decision.

I wish Someone whould develop an small tasteful arch that attaches like the W&P ones do. But than again, there’s just something about rolling on 10’s archless that just looks so good.
My last mini cane out spot on but had the widen the wheels to change the offset and stretch the tire to make it right. Just not an option on these wheels I’m afraid.

Looks fabulous.

 

I´ve had a look in my workshop for the headlamps and found that I actually have 2 different sets of Carello front headlamps, both the same size just slightly different patterns on the glass. One looks like it might have come off the car and is wrecked, the others ones I bought at a show once as Innocenti Mini Carellos. One set is 07.630.700 (the new ones) the other is 03.633.700 (rusty old ones that may have been on the car). Unfortunately my parts book does not specify beyond Carello, so I can´t tell you which one is correct, but at the same time you´d have to be a real stickler to tell the difference.

Thank you for the information!

Sorry not looking to sell at the moment. But there's quite a few sets in eBay in Italy at the moment for around 150 euros a set.

I hear what your saying and your not the only one who’s said it but since this car has a well documented history and published in a few classic mini l books with being converted, it will stay RHD.
Plus over here in the states it’s just adds to the “wow” factor when people swarm it. I love RHD, Not to many around here.

Back to the origional wheels. Couldn’t handle the poke the front had. The only option would be to convert to drums which will never happen. Lol.

Just love those cfr wheels! A little disappointed I company run with them.
