Does anyone know which alloys are the most 'open' if you know what i mean?

i love being able to see disk and calliper through an alloy and all 10's, 12's and 13's all seem nearly solid.

I know this is because of the smaller size of the wheels but there must be some that are a little more revealing! :gimme:

alot of the minilight style alloys dont reveal a lot...

There was a gun-metal mini with a white roof and a 16v engine that had some (i think) 14" sparco multispoke wheels. These looked pretty good and were very open ie. you could see the calliopers and disks and such.

Ill try and find a pic of the whels...

at that price you may as well pay an extra £20 and have MB split rim Racing wheels!! Had them at SMD on their stand and they were gorgeous! :gimme:

Either the split rims (MB, Force Racing) or you could go the KAD wheel route....

what about revo's, as there's only 4 spokes in the way ???

I'm fairly convinced you'll not get OZ wheels to fit a mini ( not with 4x4" PCD )

I've got Revolites but they still seem to cover up most of the disk. You can see most of the calliper though if you can get the wheel in the right place! :gimme:
