Bimu, are those the famous cooper s replicas to fit over 8,4" discs?
Can u finally shed a light about thier huge offset and consequencies on hadling and balljoint wear?
i already asked somewhere but still no good reply received..

Mini Magic (AKA Black Civic) had Cooper S replicas under sportspacks for a while

Hi Jaydee,

Well as soon as I put them on you could totally tell the difference in handling, as it turns better and spins up faster than my old sportspack. As for bearings and ball joints, I have to still change mine as I've had some problems with drivers side bearing, but it wasn't the fault of the Cooper S Reps, I had the problems before I put them on.

I really have nothing but good things to say about the alloys. I need to change all bits that are wrong with steering etc before one can give a proper evaluation. I's say 13's eat up more ball joints and have more steering problems though! OH and the ride is much improved over 13's!

Here's mine with 6.5 x 10 MBs. I will be changing arches to some wide group 2 style ones in the future.

yeah i no as i used to have a sportpack and replaced bearings 3 times in a couple of years..then i converted to 7,5 discs to fit teenies, that improved EVERYTHING..lol ..no more bearings problems, no more harsh ride..more acceleration..better handling..no more heavy steering when parking and so on.

I am asking as it can be an interesting option to do the conversion (i love teenies) just swapping 12" and fitting group 5 arches..but am worried about that huge offset and how can affect handling, safety and reliability, so am asking

Pretty much what he said, I never had any problems with wheel bearings or ball joints.

Handing, ride comfort, grip and steering weight while stationary were all improved with these wheels.

I really can't find anything to fault with these wheels. They may wear down wheel bearings quicker then normal wheels but certainly not any faster then some big and heavy 13" wheels.
