[MR-SKIMMED]

It is a shorty roof chopped estate but not a V8 its running just a standard 1275.

Can anyone put the wheels on for me?

[twiggy]

If I'm honest not sure I'm keen on the result!

[MR-SKIMMED]

Cheers for that Twiggy, your a star.

I must agree with you though, the wheels dont seem to suit it though they look superb on the mini in the donor photo.

You have saved me a costly mistake

Hope you get better soon.

i agree skimmed, i guess its just certain minis have different personalities! by the way, love your mini, its nice to see something different, im surprised no 1 has had a go at u for shortening an esate! nice car man

Jordan.

[MR-SKIMMED]

Cheers Jordan, i always have an answer ready if someone does question my morals but only one person ever has but they called it a van so they were uneducated in mini anyway...

The shell was pretty much mullered behind the 'b' pillar so i cut the section out then put the remains back together, the chop was a by-product & estates weren't worth much 12 years ago when it was done.

As you said with minis having different personalities, i have tried loads of different wheels on semi, some i thought looked superb on other minis then once i put them on mine they didn't suit & vice versa,

Some of the wheels.....



Then i got these 7x13 revolutions


Then i decided to go 10"
so i bought these 5x10 minilights

& these 6x10 starmags

But i couldn't afford the brake conversion
Then i lost the plot & bought these 6x13 RFX copys


But the offset was all wrong & semi wasn't happy so i got some 6x12 superlights which i reconditioned to look like this, after painting them
black

then silver


which i liked & should of kept,
but then i got these 6x13 ERA turbo copies at a good price



but they didn't suit semi
so i got these 6x13 genuine sports packs

but they were incredibly heavy

Then i won won these 6x10 minitors at Bingley in Jan 09

which again i should of kept but i needed to sell to buy the family car

so i got these 7x13 superlites instead for a bargain price




They were starting to corrode even though they were only six months old, so i got these 5x10 specials with the idea of going back to 10" again

they looked completely lost on semi so i sprayed them up & sold them on


Then i got these 5x12 performance superlights

Which i prepped

& sprayed


& i bought these 6x13 revolutions at the same time


then up to date, i now have 7x13 revolutions



If anyone has got an idea of which wheels may suit my mini then feel free to photoshop them on....please, you could save me a fortune

You already have them, the 7x13 Revs

[JordanRaisbeck]

[MR-SKIMMED]

I quite like the revo's, they were like this when i got them


Then sprayed them white (hammerite) until i can afford to get them blasted & powder coated.

Id love a set of !0" to run around on though & keep the 13" for the longer journeys

They are quite a heavy wheel, but that may not bother you.......
