Hi all, I just bought a set of 12x5" weller wheels in need of refurbishing. I will undertake the sandblasting e.c.t myself. Was wondering if anybody knows if its is possible to buy replacement stickers for the outside? As seen in pics belo. Thanks all!

And that particular one just happens to be one of mine, I’ve also got a non-restored original that I’ve yet to get the powder coating stripped off and painted up.

I'm looking forward to getting them on the car . Going to use small width spacer to help fill the arches nicely. Lowering the mini on some hi-lows aswell, look out for me at l2b, my bonnet will be gloss black by then, lowered on the wellers.
Is it sad im smiling just thinking about how pretty ruby will be?! . Lost the love for my mini a few weeks back with all the hassle i had with electricals. Took her out for a fun-run down the country lanes while the sun was out, windows down and driving music on!

Those are mine before I had them blasted and sprayed them up with rattle cans, also added the one original Weller I need to get round to doing.

If you click the little pick of the green mini below you can see what they look like fitted on the mini. I’ve got them fitted with no spacers covered by group 2’s (same width as mini specials) and they only just cover, the fronts in fact stick out ever so slightly.

I just looked through your thread, some great work there! The wellers look sooooooo nice, suit it to a T . I'm going to get group 2 arches so the lip should cover the front ones nicely! Thanks for the heads-up on the spacers though.

Just a bit backwards that I spotted/bought the wheels from the scrappers and then bought the mini for them to go on over a year later.

The front would probably fit under the standard width arches, but on mine I’m using metro 4pots and I think the flanges space the wheels out slight move over standard 8.4” brakes anyways.

Or maybe its just incredible hindsight? . Have you/are you replacing the red/blue lines and weller logo?

[new_zealand _minis]

i want to do the same to my weller 12x5 but dont want to loose the stripes or decal . but you can get new center caps from mini spares and center stickers from ebay

Or from Weller, oddly enough!

Really? would never had guessed! Haha. Ive asked roofless for a quote first, I doubt weller would send me a new set for free out of kind-heartedness. Could plaster my car in their stickers though?

They might do, they are quite a friendly company. Most of their wheels are custom made so they are good at dealing with people.

Roofless is making me up a set for £10 . P.s i removed the induction kit i posted a while back, fuel consumption went through the roof!
