I could do with some help here guys!

HERE are some 6x12 Minilight alloys,
And HERE are some Superlight ones, also 6x12.

But they look almost identical! Could someone say what the difference is between the 2 makes? I'm going almost cross-eyed trying to work out what could seperate the pics. :)

Well I know that the 'Minilife' wheels are closer to the original Minilite look than the current Minilite wheels themselves.

The first link looks like they have sharper edges on each of the eight spokes, second looks more smoother and rounded, could just be the picture but there is a difference there.

The Minilights have a sharper finish at the peak of the spoke - and a HUGE big nose
in the middle of the wheel. Personally I'd go for the others.

I got 4 genuine RSP minilights via eBay (almost brand new), paid eighty quid for four and then had four new yokos
from Minispares for £110 (after a bit of haggling). So £190 all in and in these hard times you
really can push for some very good deals...

Your links leave you spending the best part of £400 and I can't help but think you might do better via eBay,
this forum's own classifieds section, or even the shows that are going on all over the country right now....

Best wishes
Monty
