ok i want new wheels for my cooper, but i cannot decide between 6x12" minilites deep dish or 6x10" deep dish revolites/revolutions, obviously the revolites are £60 cheaper, and i might not have to buy sportspack arches if i got them?

any thoughts?

If you like th looks o fboth of them i'd go for the 6x10" deep dish revolites/revolutions as you mini will probably handle better on them.

Plus 6x12 minilites are pretty standard :huh: :w00t:

Go for the revos if youve got the right brakes, 10s look the best and so do revos!

If you get the deep dish 10's make sure they come with the tyres already fitted, no one around here could get my tures on because the design of the inside of the wheel is so bad that it stretches the bead to nearly breaking point trying to the tyres on. Huddersfield Mini SPares have stopped selling these 'deep dish' wheels because of this problem.

Deep dish wheels other than looking good, alter the geometry of the front suspention and steering leading to lots of bump steer and torque steer. Fit genuine factory fit wheels every time and you wont have a problem as the suspention and steering geometry has been taken into concideration reducing the efects of torque and bump steer.
