I actually found them on ebay. I knew I was going to need some wheels, and I had heard that golf kart wheels would fit, so I started searching. I also found out that I had the offset wrong, it will actually have about 2" of back spacing, so they will stick out about an inch farther that the 13x7's. hopefully that wont have too much of an ill effect on the car.

Hmm.. I would've thought that would make it un-controlable....

Well I am going to take a chance on them anyway. I'll be the test rabbit, I suppose. The good news is, even if they don't work, or I don't like them, I live in an area with a lot of golfers who like to modify their carts, so it shouldnt be too hard to resell them. I have a feeling that they will be fine though. I'm not going to be diving the Mini in any rough handling conditions (for now). It will be used as a daily driver. The only thing is that I might have to trim the wings under the arches for clearance on a full lock turn.

They would not be sticking out as far as these wheels do-
