Does anyone know the different codes stamped on dunlop steel wheels please (i.e. cooper reverse rims or cooper S rims)?

Also, i think i have reverse rims whilst running drum brakes. I would like to upgrade to 7.5 cooper s discs without having to fit arches, would cooper s wheels still stay within the arches?

Cheers,
Rich

Cooper S rims will sit within the arches... Reverse rims will not.. there is a recent post on which I posted some pictures of the differences.

On a side note, was not aware that dunlop made the rims...

edit..

Ah it was your thread

If you're after S rims, then the best thing to do, like I did, just buy some new ones from Minispares ( or Minisport if you prefer ). You'll spend ages looking for original ones, and they will not be in half as good a condition as the replicas and probably vastly over priced.

But if i knew of someone who had a set of steel 10" wheels and wasnt sure what they were, do you know what number they should have on them?
random i know, but my mini is at home and im at uni so i cant see what number is stamped on my reverse rims (if that makes sense)

I think LP981 rings a bell...

LP981 are reverse rims
LP882 are 3.5" Cooper S rims
LP883 are 4.5" Cooper S rims

S wheels will require spacered rear drums.

Only problem with the Minisport repros are that apparently you can't get the hubcaps off once fitted !!! A somewhat fundamental manufacturing c**k up, I think !

They do however look very nice.
