yes mate stainless steel rc40 yeah dont go buying the wheels until its near finished good luck with it should look good once it's done

[Mattlav]

i certainly hope so, its getting taken off to be all weled up soon i asked about the exhaust as i reckon im gonna go with the RC40 centre exit

[MiniBonkerz]

imo the centre exit is a little chavvy but s/s all the way

[Mattlav]

*shocked look* im no chav! haha just love the sound/ look of it.. found this video on youtube:


Tis lovely

[MiniBonkerz]

not saying your a chav lol just in my opinion they look chav

[Mattlav]

haha ok thats coool

imo you want 13x7 wheels to fill the sportspack arches properly, otherwise they look overarched as you can see in minibonkerz pictures on the back wheels, this is even with spacers to try and fill them! also, centre exit isnt chav, i got a maniflow centre exit on mine, its meant to aid performance, as the gas doesnt have to go round bends, which adds resistance slowing the gases down! although it inst really noticeable!

I did have the spacers on mine, but the looked too wide boy for me lol. But good if you want a wider look.

I'd recommend Yokos as they fit fine on a sportspack...however with them being 13" they are more likely to aquaplan..but warm weather...they are just super. Though I once I have the funds I'll be going down to 12" as less heavy.

haha mine are 12s aint they? not sportspack tho i dont think

Errm it seams to me with the sportspack look its a bit of hit and miss really just dont buy the none genuine fakes from ebay hehe

wider wheels are designed to disperse water better apparently, there just god awful in snow!! and tbf, thinking back, i have only ever aquaplaned in my mini once, and that was following a toyota starlet on skinnier wheels than my 13x7s, so this isnt strictly true!

Yeah I official aquaplaned once because it was dark and didn't see the massive puddle.....though a well know mini magazine gave that advice so just thought I'd pass it on. I guess if you a careful drive the risks will be lower!

Lol I've not notice any difference since I took the spacers off to be honest....just my wheels aren't sticking out as much lol.
