I agree - 13s look way better when done properly, group 5s like on the blue car above or group 6s like on mine - look awesome

Modded mini - 13's
Cooper/Classic Modded - 10's
Bog Standard/City - 12's

My opinion anyways

Bog Standard/City - 12's

I kind of agree with that. My car is a 1990 Cooper - modded to look like old car, I could have gone with 10s, but... guards were cut already, and was easier and better for what I wanted.

I am really happy with the 13s, handling and looks wise. I get comments on my car almost every day I drive it.

all 3 can look good but in my opinions 10's are the bogs dolloks!

Depends where your values lie really- looks or performance.

Anything pre 1980 looks fabulous and correct on 10" rims. 145 if you're staying standard, 165's if you want a fatter look. This is also most peoples choice for a decent handling setup.

Sportspack era cars do look great on the 13"s but I'm not sure you'd want all that extra unsprung weight if you're serious about performance.

On the other hand, and if you're on a budget and can't afford 'S' disc brakes, 12" Rover Cooper alloys with decent 165/60 12 tyres is a great compromise between looks and handling IMO.

This is my spi cooper with 10x5 exactons, cooper 's' brakes and somerford group 2 arches.

Just personal preference...

A bog standard car has to be on 12s?

I agree - just put 13's on mine - look well beefy

[project mini chris]

I would say: 10's on a retro, slammed car or original mk1/2.
12's on a Original Car eg. City, mayfair etc
13's on Modified, later, cooper etc
(not mine, But has 10" )
