Rosepetals + S running gear = no arches

6J Mambas + S running gear = arches

4.5 Cooper S + S running gear = no arches

Reverse Rims + S running gear = arches

4.5 Minilites + S running gear = no arches

Revos + S running gear = arches

Black centered Rosepetals will look great, Mamba's are more period for the car

What about 10x5J Mamba's?

[greenar]

I voted Cooper S as they look great and understated, however if you're keeping the black roof I may have gone down the black revo route. Not sure if you can get them in a 4.5j though.

I voted revo as I love them even thow I have mini lites =P

You might just get away with 5J's, it will be close though

Mate, reverse rims are a clear winner! Just grab a set and stick them on, you won't regret it I promise

You mean reverse rims as in 4.5J cooper 's'?

Just getting hold of them!

[Mini_Magic]

Cooper S, or Minilites if you can't afford them.

Reverse rims are not Cooper S wheels, they were a dealer option for the non S models, S steel wheels only come in 2 sizes, 3.5J inset, and 4.5J option flush faced, both of which were made to fit the cars without arches being needed, you can buy a repro S steel wheel now, silver for the MK 2 look white for MK 1

Yeah I was going to go for a repro second hand set if I could as I think a set of real 's' wheels would be slightly out of my price range...

There was a guy selling a set of genuine reverse rims at Oulton last Sunday with brand nea yoko's for 275 quid. He probably could have been knocked down.

[Ryang556]

Ahhh see that's exactly what I want to find at mini the park!

I'm sure I'll find some there though it's a big enough show

[Steely]

Thats one of the reasons why I would love to go, Loads of parts! I need a few things that dont cost that much to get mine looking nice both inside and out. Outside is looking good atm but inside needs things like, original gear Knob (hard to find in good condition) 2 new sunvisors, head liner.

get some square ones to be different
