I purchased these for my project car but decided to go with 10s so these were surpluss to requirements after no joy selling I decided to use these as a spare set on the MPi whilst the Sportspack wheels are refurbed.

They looked a bit weired at first but that said the car does seem to handle better and be a bit quicker gettiing upto speed as a result of loosing all that weight.

they look good
im thinking of down grading to 12x6

think you should lower it abit

but they look sweet

infact i wont those wheels

I have a set of adjustarides to go on but to be honest the front is pretty low and I am unsure that lowering the rear will help with its handling. Anybody offer any pearls of wisdom on this one?

I am selling my 13s on ebay at the moment, I will be buying 12s. They look cool with the sp arches too. Nice one
If you are selling once your sps are done let me know, the auction on mine ends next weekend, so i will need sone wheels, I find the car move quicker with wheels.

Thanks for the comments mymini007, hope you get a sale on your rims. If I wasnt going on holiday on Tuesday and had abit of spare cash I might have taken a dabble.

As for my Sportpacks its a no go I am afraid, I have kept everything that has been changed on this car from new (not service items!), so in theory it could be put back to how it left the show room.

Its a bit *rec of the tum* really but then I also keep all my nail clippings incase someone tries to clone me

Looks excellent even without the back being lowered, good work

Wow - I never thought 12" & SportsPack arches could go together that good! Nice!

I was initially worried about it looking a little over arched but to be honest they fill the arches as well if not better than the SPs. The thing that took time getting used to was the increase in sidewall, it makes the rims look tiny, probably exacerbated by the anthracite centres. Anyhoo they are growing on me.

Bumpsteer and tramlining are now longer an issue so I have to say probably the easiest way to get a Sportspack handling better without the need to get your hands dirty, changing cones, hi-los etc

They look better than the sportspack wheels, by a fair bit. I would keep those and flog the 13"s.

Sportspacks and 12's look awesome! I think I actually like sportspack arches, just not with sportspack wheels!

well mine are 13s but they look the same size as that. I always think everyone elses 13s look bigger than mine.
Im getting rid as they are a bit knackered


Nasty eh?
I like the idea of going to 12s like that though

[MBarnes]

That looks absolutely terrific! Like that a lot

Looks awesome with the overriders and spotlamps, along with the colour scheme, I actually love it!
