I would like to change my wheel arches and then my wheels but not sure which ones to go for. I have looked at loads but just can't seem to make my mind up. I am not very good with sizes of wheels but i think slighty wider ones. Has anyone got any idea's for me? I have attached some pic's of our mini Wally the walrus

These are group 2 on mine, they look ok.

Sportpack are nice also.

Hope these help ya

I think that the 6x12 'lites with the anthracite centres would look great with that. Maybe some Group 5 arches over the top? Get the ones with the lip and you could put the chrome style trim all down the sides as well!

Thought about sportpack but are they quite hard to fit? I like the black grille, i was thinking a black grille and black wheel arches just really hard to imagine what it all looks like before you put them on.
Thanks for your ideas.

Sorry i'm not sure what 6x12 look like i will try and find some, Group 5 are the really wide ones? Might be quite good would they look better with deep dish wheels?

i like the wheels its got on now they suit the paint just get some group2's with the chrome edging to cover them would look fab!

I think that it looks a bit narrow and slightly bigger wheels and arches might make it look a bit wider, just there is so much choice out there i keep changing my mind.
Might go with yor idea and change the arches first and see what they look like with the wheels.

Group 2 arches would look lovely!

You mini looks really good what wheels have you got?

I'd say carbon fiber miglia arches and with 6.5/7x10 inch wheels with anthracite centers. It would look good with your current colour scheme.

if you have won the lottery do that 1

Personally I love this look (see pic).

I think they are 10 x6 wheels with group 2 arches.
Go for this and paint the arches to match the Walrus.
It says something but doesn't scream it and it will look cool for another 40 years.

That sound really cool but i think the reply below might be right. it may just be over my budget, but saying that what ever i think looks best i will save up and go for as i don't see the point of not putting on what you really want.

This is my first time on this site and i can't believe how much people help each other with advice, wish i had known about it ages ago

Is that your mini? it looks really nice think the wheels really suit it. We are going to the national on sunday so going to take a good look around at these size wheels.
