Hi I have just recently purchased a 1990 Mini City which came with the pictured wheels (10").

I have been told that they are Original Mini Cooper S wheels but am not to sure as they have no way of attaching the chrome hub caps. they are also deep dish, which the originals weren't i believe??

For me, they look like Weller wheels - they look very similar to them:

Or possible those:
(For them, the number of holes matches, also)

Cooper S wheels (Dunlop LP883) should look like this:

They have the dish in the right direction to fit the hub cap.

They are certainly not original Cooper S rims. Pretty sure they are Wellers.

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit classic chrome hubcaps onto 10x6 weller wheels with a little ingenuity?

I would love to see it done, it would be like a wider version of the reverse cooper rims.

Get some reverse rims banded to 6" wide.

Everything is possible

I know a member on here had a set banded because I sold her the set. I'll ask her.
