There are 2 different types of 13x6 Wellers for Minis. Original ones and 'multi-fit' ones (possibly re-drilled from ford fitmnt, but can't guarantee). The multi-fit ones have a larger offset, ie are deeper. The ones pictured above are the lower offset ones. The larger offset ones are used in stock car racing alot on the front of Minis.

Scroll down a little bit on this page to see the different styles

Huddersfield Spares used to sell the black ones with the holes in, not sure if they still do or not.

Apparently you shouldnt use wheels with a pcd of 4x100 on a mini, they have to be just right. 13x6/7 Wellers are available in mini fitment, just a bit difficult to distinguish the different fitments.

Link here to 13x7's for sale, doesnt mention mini pcd http://www.polleymot...facturer=Weller Wheels

Link on the same site for 12x5's, just for description comparison, it mentions mini fitment http://www.polleymot...facturer=Weller Wheels

Polley motorsport are a distributor of weller wheels, weller wheels site directly links their site for sales. Be careful you dont end up buying a set with 4x100 pcd. Id ring up Weller first if you want to buy new http://www.wellerwheels.com/ or like I said try Huddersfield.

If you want used ones off ebay all I can say is good luck and hopefully the seller gets their description right and they are actually mini ones!

Brilliant thanks guys!

i think the look Im going for is either the 7x13


Or like Dan said the deeper offset 6x13

Weller dont do the 8 spoke anymore

Keep any pictures coming!

What?! No way, I always thought that minis pcd was 4x100?!

I agree, half the people on ebay dont seem to know what they're selling... The problem is because i want the 8 spoke look i think ebays the only route.

Thanks

Mini PCD is in inches 4x4", it works out to be about 4x101.6 or something like that.
Look around on stock car forums for the deeper ones. You might have to buy 2 pairs as (on my old track anyway) we only ran 12's or 13's on the front and 10's on the back.

Yeah, the mini pcd is 101.6mm, which doesnt seem a lot of difference, but 100mm's apparently stress the wheel studs and can end up snapping eventually.

The best thing to do is to ring up someone at Weller and explain, find out if they ever did actually make 13x7's for mini fitment, if they did what markings were on the wheels. They may have no idea but its worth a try

to be honest, for all anyone knows the mini in the photo above might have 4x100's on, theres just no way of knowing without having them in front of you.

I've just had a right game on ebay trying to find the right width 10x6 Wellers, actually won an auction after messaging the seller asking if they were x6's, he said yes, they were actually 5.5s! Just ask the sellers lots of questions and try to view them before buying. I wouldnt trust asking the seller to get a measuring tape out and measure the pcd, especially when were talking a 1mm difference between getting a sale or not!

This page is from the same site which is quite useful http://www.mini-mayf...heelbottom.html

thanks for the advise silva, Ive been watching ebay for a while now but i havent seen a set of 4 come up like Dan said.

Surely theres someone on here with this setup?! (7x13s)

[Turbo Nick]

they're like rocking horse *melon* in 13x7, i've had one set which one of my mates now owns and my other mate has just sold a set.

A while ago I weighed some mini 10 inch steels, 12 inch mags and 13x7 mags. The weight difference was quite substantial between steel and alloy wheels, and between 10 and 13 inch tyres. Steel 13s and wide tyres must be the heaviest combination you can go for. With this in mind, why are the Wellers so popular, just for the offset?
