I ordered a set of 4 minilite's with falken tires on them yesterday at around 12 o'clock.
I was very pleased to hear today that they came in the morning.
I have only good things to say about them
They were polite and very helpful on the phone, the wheels look to be a brilliant quality with a superb finish and they came in under a day.
Thanks Midland Wheels

I'LL SECOND THAT.
I HAVE USED THEM A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, EACH TIME THE WHEELS CAME THE NEXT DAY AND LIKE YOU SAY, THEY ARE VERY GOOD QUALITY, OH AND POLITE ON THE PHONE TOO.
I USED A MINI SPARES FURTHER NORTH UP THE M1 PRIOR TO THIS AND THEY WERE NOT A PATCH ON MIDLAND WHEELS.

They look nice. They do look like 10's. Are they a Midland Wheels own brand? As it say Mini Light on the wheel and not minilite. Or are they meant to be like that and I'm just being crazy.

lets see if you say the same thing about MWS in 6 months time when they are all flaky and look like a bag of poo

Hmm I had a set of Midland wheels that looked brilliant when I first bought them...they didn't last very long at all before they flaked, was really gutted. I didn't bother trying to get them restored, I just sold them on and bought Vernon some different ones.

I do hope you are lucky with these wheels, as they look great, but I suggest you keep our receipt safe. If you have a quick search of the forums you will find numerous threads dating back 5 years or more where people have had issues with these wheels. Laquer peels off them, they are made slightly off-sized so new tyres are nnearly impossible to fit etc.
I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope you have no trouble with them, but be prepared.

However, without a receipt you have a much more difficult time with your local trading standards office, proving when and where you bought them. Keep it safe....

Thats what I was getting at with my last comment. I think they are the midland wheels own type which are complete crap and a waste of money. Anyway good luck lets hope you don't have any problems.
