ive got my minispares ones but they going back as the quality is quite frankly, disgraceful!

will have a nosey at the summerford ones


Mine where Minispares ones. I opened a thread which many may remember, as they were shockingly bad.

I still did my best, and made them fit. W&P's are on the horizon. >_<

i'll have to dig out the thread >_<


cheers, would appreciate that....

mine are so poorly made the rear two arches differ in width by nearly as much as 1.25".

Lucky they were closed on saturday when i discovered the problem!!

Ive got 10x6`s with normal group 2 arches with discs, sailed through MOT but do have a bit of negative camber which bought the wheels in a little, although they still stick out front and rear a little.

the english MOT system is a joke to be honest, they'd never pass it here if theres even so much as 1mm of tread showing.

Heres my mini with drums all round.

Iv got spacers on the back and no spacers on the front so that shows the difference. I do have a disk setup in the garage ready to go on so thats why I never bothered with spacers for the front.

hi everybody,

I'm from Poland - what shop do you recommend ?

I bought wheel rims 6" x 12" and which wide arches to purchase to them?

I want to buy gp2, but wich wide ?? 3" or 3,5 " ?? maybe 2,5" ??
I want that arch didn't stick out behind the wheel rim (wheel reem could stick out maybe 0,5mm :unsure: )

my wheels are http://www.midlandwh...r-Blue-Rim.html with yoko a539 tyres.

thank's for reply
