I've got 12" d1's, really hard to get genuine ones with the wide imp offset, though you may spot them in Minimag atm :) ;)

What about these?

5x10 alloy "steelies" with a polished lip.

Thinking of painting the black part and the center of the hubcaps red, like the 300sl.

Not really a "rare" design of wheel; although pretty hard to get in 13" x 7's by all accounts, but the finish makes them a little....... "Un-usual"

I hope they tick that box anyway.. enjoy

Those wooden wheels look great! The Otter - I like the Wellers you have as well. The ebay link above are also pretty nice wheels.

On the OPs link, I like the CXR 1370s, ideally in a 5x12 size and the anthracite colour.

I also like the wheels you get on the current Cooper S Works and would like some like that if I could find them in a 12".

I don't know for sure how those ones were done, but they use a transfer a bit like the old air fix type, the item to be covered is dipped and then baked to get a hard surface. I think they also do an air dry version as my mate had his air rifle done in camo, no idea why as he only shoots it in his garage. You can get any pattern you like from places like this: http://www.camodipkit.com/

I love wheels!

I'v lost count at the number of sets iv had in the past. This is pretty much the up to date pic.

Make things even worse about 5 years ago I was at an auto jumble near my house and found some 10x6 momo for £60. I was pretty broke at the time as I didnt have a job so was not sure if I should buy them. I thought I had seen on here they were rare. Anyway finally just thought balls to it I'll get them to be told be had just sold them to a trader. The same wheels then turned up at a mini show for £300.

Anyway as above I'm not a massive fan of minilights either but went out and bought some anyway. Made them a little different to most others you see.

My mate has these 13s on his van. Never seen another set like them in mini fitment.
