ok just wondering..... i have a set of 13x7 ultralite on me mini, im thinking that the lighter the wheel the better? so, the word ultralite 2 me would be lighter than superlight? they look exactly the same only superlites are more expensive, and minilites, whats going on? why should i spend more money on superlites when they are the same as ultras? i mean if i was that bothered im sure i could get hold of a set of superlites centre caps for about a 5er.
please somebody enlighten me, what wheels out of the three would you buy/alredy own and why?

The name means very little with relation to weight, they are just trade names.
The ORIGINAL Minilite http://www.minilite....magnesium1.html use a Magnesium alloy and as such make them very light and strong but the price is fairly heavy. All others are imitations of these originals.
When I buy wheels for the mini, I either buy Genuine Rover wheels or the Minilite Magnesuim style http://www.minilite..../magstyle1.html All others, to me, just would not feel right :erm: Not that I buy wheels often
