To be fair, i do like the sportpack wheels but they don't fill the arches as much as i'd like, can you get wider ones?

personally, id say 13 x 7 force racing splits would be but they are also £££££ lol
id keep it standard, maybe space the wheels out so they fill the arches?

Dont do it. Those are fake split rims and are tacky as it gets as a result. Either get real splits or get non split look wheels

Or 10 x 7 inch force racing wheels. I'm going for the same, I have the same mini as you but in tahiti blue. Other modifications will be needed. Ok the mini is a classic car but everyone is having those 13x7 superlites/ ultralites nowadays.

I really like the look of your car as it is, but those other wheels are pretty tasty!!!!

I like those wheels, they would go well with the black on the car and would line up with the arches better. I've actually thought of the same set for Mine, but cant find them anywhere.

I like 10"s aswell but i only bought a full set of 13" tires in july and bought some 8.4" minisport 4 pot calipers also.
Might just run spacers for a while then, anyone know what size spacers to get? 3/4"?

simple, just go measure how much further out you would like the wheels to be and get the same size spacers.
