Hi all.

just bought a mini, im a bit out of date with the mini scene.

can you give me some options on wheel design and colours which will go well.

last mini i had 20 years ago was black with white weller wheels, but fancy something different.

thanks in advance

How about something like this, normally I wouldnt go for 13s but these would look ream on a black car. and I would think about dechroming it completely.

these are both good sets, the link is to the special offer ones (there a bargain) red and black ones look good, but the chrome lip superlights will work better if your going to keep some chrome detailing on it,

hope this helps

Hmmm Minilights-style wheels are nice but everyone and his dog has them. How about Supa-Trax, Star Mags or maybe even Revos?

Alley cats would be cool as feck if a bit of a sod to clean.

i would go for the all-black effect, just to make my Mini stand out from the crowd. Black tints, all black wheels, black bumpers and grilles. Like a stealth mini

[silva_mini]

theres a good example of an all black mini in this months MiniWorld, personally id say make sure the wheels are gloss black rather than satin black

12x6 DeepDish MiniLites would look good all black on that mini

What ever you fit make sure they have polished outer beads.

Thanks for you input of this guys.

i was thinking of sticking with 12" wheels, well going upto 12 x6

i only have standard arches at the mo, so im guessing this size wheel will stick out about an inch of the arch.

should i then get some group 2 arches as well, which use the same holes as the standard arches.

i take it there is no cutting needed when fitting 12 x 6 ? or rubbing do i need to get a certain tyre and offset.

and as you can see from the picture , i think it needs lowering quite badly.

thanks again

I'm looking to sell my 12x5 Black polished Revo's if you're interested. Used but VGC without tyres £100

I added the red stripe but could easily be removed as it's just pinstriping sticker...
