I have start to drive my mini on a regular basis and have realised how crap 13x7 wheels (the ride quality).

I was after some pics of minis with sportpack arches but with wheels that are not 13" as it is too much work to change the arches (repair where the wings have been cut).

Thanks

here's a photo of my mpi with 10's and the rubbish fake sportspack arches (not my choice) but i have some genuine ones in the garage awaiting a respray although i am in two minds whether to use them or not as the arches are too big for the size of wheels.....

So do i buy 13's or do i bite the bullet and fit smaller arches but face the bill of repairing and respraying the body work to hide the hole?????

Cooper Sport with 12x6s, noticeable improvement in handling with absolutely no tramlining. I have kept the Sportspacks just in case I feel the need to put them back on though.

hi feller where you get the group 5's from.....?

as i spoke to a friend who had put them on his mini to replace his old sports packs and they never covered his holes
so are the group 5's different from different suppliers?

Ah no the dont cover the holes, you will have to fill and paint those, but they do cover the cut outs.
