i might have to get these ones:- (they are 424 with yoko a008's,all nuts,balanced,fitted etc etc from minisport)

[MIGLIACARS]

I recently changed a pic on the wheel directory,
look at it again (if you were refering to it).

There are actually 3 'GB' wheels (of which I know):

The early 5" wheel:


The later redesigned 5" wheel:


The late design 6" wheel:

[the ones on the green car above)

Go for the genuine MiniLITE if you want a clissic looking 6" minilite-ish wheel with not too much of a 'dish'.

thanks very ,much for that mate, i was originally wanting the normal minilites (which i thought were gb) but after seeing a couple of cars with them deep dish style ones on, i quite like them, they seeem to suit the mini,
cheer for all the info mate, its much appreciated,

[brad88]

still going to have to keep looking, looks like the minisport ones are the ones to go for at the minute,

[MIGLIACARS]

here are mine
im told there a genuine minilite an early type
magnesium i think

[Asphalt]

They are MiniLIGHTs, not MiniLITEs (not to confuse with MiniLIFEs).
To determine wheter magnesium or not - weight them.
Magnesium alloy wheels are feather light if you lift them (w/o tyre of course).

I'm not sure if MiniLIGHTS were ever made of a magnesium alloy?
MiniLITES were.

As said: complicated topic with 1 milion different wheels with (almost) same design

[dougie1142]

Hey mate, i have a set of Minilite 10x5.5 they dont really have a dish... i'd be interested in selling them as i want some 12" wheels. if you want pics just give me a shout
