Hi all
I’ve had a quick flick on eBay and google but can’t seem to easily find if anywhere does this style of wheel/hub cap but for 12 inch wheels. I know everyone loves minilites but there’s something about the simple chrome hubs and white steel wheels I really like

If anyone has any ideas or links I’d love to see them!

This is a really smart looking mod, but in my opinion the 10" wheel hubcap is a bit small for the 12" wheel. An alternative could be to use the steel wheels complete with hubcap from a Hillman Imp (and other badge engineering models) as they are 12" wheels standard and same PCD as the Mini.

 

An alternative (albeit larger diameter) could be to go with Mk1/2 Austin Healey Sprint or Mk1 MG Midget steels and hubcaps. These are however 13" but the same PCD as the Mini also.
