There was never a 'production' mini available with 13" steels, but as above, some aftermarket, like wellers...

Imp wheel's is an option... also austin 1100 wheels ( think they have a weird offset tho' like metro steelies ) pretty much any steel wheel from a 60/70's BMC/BL car would do.. with a bit of fiddling..

I had a race car years ago that had Viva 13 inch wheels that had been banded to 8 inch wide. They were pretty cool, but heavy

Vauxhall Viva, Midget/Sprite, Triumph Herald and derivatives, A30/35/40 (not recommended) Assorted trailer wheels from trailer suppliers. Wellers. Early Lotus Elan (S1/2) Most Formula Ford wheels should fit as most used Herald front uprights.
