Can anyone who has Revolution wheels tell me if the size of the rim is cast into them anywhere? I'm very interested in a set on eBay, and have already had to explain to the seller that he's listed them as 13" but if they're wearing 165/60 12 tyres that they must be 12" rims. I'm now starting to wonder whether they are actually 6" wide as he claims, they don't look it in the pictures to me.

On the rear inside the spokes iirc, sold my revs a while back so can't go and check..

Be careful, theres also some 5.5" wide revos kicking around, MWS was doing an offer on them a while ago(I bought some).

Clearance on these is hit and miss, some cars catch, some don't!!

I really want 12"x6" revo's - I understand that I'll have to do some arch trimming so they don't rub. Just don't want to bid on these, drive all the way there to get them and find they aren't as described i.e. narrower

They do look more like 12x5 to me, the 12x6 on mine have a deeper dish.

A common mistake on wheels is that the seller measures the width of the rim from the outside edges rather than the inner faces where the tyre sits.

There are lots of Revolution rims on the net for sale as 12x6 but aren't .

I have 12x6 revos on my mini, The picture you have posted looks like 12x5 or 12x5.5. They are not as deep in the dish as my 12x6's judjing by the way the valve is sitting so close to the edge of the rim. I would not bid unless you are totally sure of what you ae geting.

Thanks guys, seller has now confirmed they're marked 5Jx12 despite advertising them as 6x13 lol

Just to point out, the 6x12s are available in deep dish and standard dish. The standard dish look the same as the photo, the deep dish look a bit odd (IMO).

I had same with mine recently wanted to know with for future arch change but think mine are 5" wide but will look next time i have a wheel off!

If your sig is your car with the revs on then they are 5s. 5.5s and 6s would not fit nicely under the standard arches

Thanks yeah the sig is it, cool will see if 5.5 or 5", though am i right in thinking they all use same size tyre? something like 165 -60 12?
