Very nice mini you have there and fair bit of money being ploughed into it from the sounds of it.

Love the rims will look ace with that green paintwork

Nice looking project, out of interest where did you get the banded steelies from? Only i sold a set of 4 to someone on this forum a while back and in my garage move i have found the 5th banded steel that looks the same as yours...



I had two sets but sold those ones, this is the set ill be running on my car, they dont have the flat dish its kind of a stepped dish...

Mate that is gorgeous, love the wheels and the oil cooler idea too.

[tedmcedd]

Mega like this! the wheels look ace! if i were you i'd keep the standard arches painted green like you have in the mock up picture, its very different and looks very cool, love the grey engine and the oil cooler, however is it not in the way if you ever needed to take off your grill?

They look very similar! I bought mine of ebay a while ago. Im going to get another set done though as im not keen on the quality of mine, look a bit grasstracked haha.

Those look really nice, has the furthest in step been banded instead of the outer one?

Thanks, im thinking the same really. Just want to try it with black gp2's to see how it looks. Want to get the roof painted black to.
Yea it is in the way will just have to take it of at the block if i ever need to take the grill off.

As said in the the posts above they are banded steels. Mine are standard 10x3.5 with a 2 inch band. Banded means the wheels have been cut and extra width has been added to them. You can get it done professionally via ebay....
