Thanks for that David but I'm sorry I should have mentioned that I was looking for a picture of a mini with silver 5.5x12 superlights. But atleast I know how well they fill out the arches. So does anyone have any more photos?

998 tango, I'm guessing those are w&p arches? Did the wheels rub on the arches when you had the standard ones when you were on full lock? And were they the superlights as well?

yeah they were superlights from midland wheels. i think the arches were minisports monte carlo ones. very similar to w&p. they did rub on the standard arches . just had to dress the wing and front panel up a little bit which was easy because the wing and front panel were mainly made of rust :P
