Hi, the body work on my mini is currently undergoing a full restoration and part of the plan is to fit 13x7 superlites with suitable arches for an aggressive sort of look. The arches are being modified to fit the wheels (cutting arches e.c.) then the mini is being painted after :) should look lovely !
The problem I'm having is deciding which arches to buy for it ! Ill start with I don't want sportpack or miglia arches, never really appealed to me the ones Iv been looking at are Group 2 race arches -3.5" wide. Group 6 arches -3.75" and Classic works wide arches (from mini speed) not sure on size there is just a picture.
If there is any one in this forum with 13x7s using any if these arches pictures would be much appreciated !

Thanks. These are the group 2 race etc, but I think we're group 6 from Huddersfield spares. Same thing different name.

So the group 2 race arches are the same as the group 6 from Huddersfield mi I spares ? Iv been looking at both of them, it says the 2s are 3.5" and the 6s are 3.75" ? Unless they are measured from different points ?

You won't be dissapointed. Mine were good enough that I just polished them, no paint.
