How available are these wheels 10x4.5j cooper s reverse wheels many thanks.

[Boycie]

They crop up on eBay occasionally.

It's worth noting, there's nothing 'Cooper-S' about them! They were just made to give the non-'S' cars, (running drum brakes or 7" discs) the same track as the 'S' running 7.5" discs.

I personally think they are quite cool and understated, in a standard-ish kinda way.

Reverse rims on my drum brake car-



My set were £50 ish from eBay.
Then I had them shot blasted (£48).
Then I prepped and painted them (£30ish for materials).
Don't forget tyres and fitting and balancing!
Quite a palava really but I like them now they're done.

They're really nice.. but they're not dished 'Reverse' Rims, these have the different offset to clear the 'S' discs. Makes me wonder why people pay £loads for original 'S' wheels when you can get new ones.

I've got a set of 4 reverse rims for sale now.

I don't suppose these are still available? - or if anyone else has any?

[mab01uk]

Dunlop Reverse 'S' rims were used for many years in Mini Se7en racing until they changed to Minilite style alloys.

[minimanclive]

I sold mine last year, but they do come up on ebay and at auto jumbles.

I've seen them on trailers as well.

[Mini Mad Drakeley]

ive got a set for my car il be getting shotblasted and powdercoated, i prefer the archless look with shiny hubcaps

[ibrooks]

I've got a set for sale and I'm fairly certain I've got a set of pretty good hub-caps to go with them. There's a guy in the local club keeps saying he wants them but never comes to get them so if you're interested then you can have them for £50. They are in red-oxide at the moment so want cleaning and painting or powder coating but a guy local to me had a set of alley-cat alloys done over Christmas for about £50 all in so prices entioned earlier for blasting and painting seem OTT to me.
