Spotted these little numbers at Race Retro last weekend.

There are 4.5x10", with alloy rims and stainless spokes. They can also be had with painted mild steel spokes , hubs and rim centres. They are not cheap though at £800 each (that's £3200 for a set).

If you're still interested and must have what will be a pretty exclusive set of wheels then here's the details of where you can get them and a couple of pictures of how they look once fitted.

They must be the most expensive set of mini wheels ever....

But is that what wire wheels generally cost (like you see on moggies and jags)? or are these expensive because of low production numbers?

Theres a company in america that do 10 inch wire wheels as I got a quote a while back and it was no wear near that much including getting them shipped over.

Would love a set of 10 inch wire wheels though.

I always thought that wire wheels would look amazing on a mini but have changed my mind now,

do suit other cars very well and for the price you could get some new force racing alloys for alot cheaper than £3200 lol
