Hi guys

Some of you may have seen my post where I was trying to establish if I could house 13x7" wheels under my existing sportspack arches (if not http://www.theminifo...-2#entry2917598 )

So I think I'm going for the wheels but question is what ones... My current two favorites are chrome superlights or silver mambas (more so the mambas) but I wondered if you guys had any other suggestions or opinions?!

Also where is the best place to buy the wheels from? As I've heard bad things about midland wheels so wondered where people have had positive reviews?!

Cheers

Ryan

try r&r alloys .co.uk  that where i am goonea get mine , i have spoke to them and they are very helpful with any measurments you may need;ie offset and stuff good selection and not a bad price matey!!

[Minimad100]

excellent!!! just had a look on the site and it looks good!!! my only question i have is what would te riginal offset be on my sportpack wheels? just asa rough guide to see if i can fit what im looking at? as the mambas have an offset of -7?

[cooperlooper]

It may be stamped on the rear of your wheels or give r&r a call and they will help , they will work it out if you can give them some measurements

[Minimad100]

Oh ok I'll have a look but if not I'll call them!! I've seen your thread for the black minilites so you'll have to let me know what the wheels are like once you've made your choice and received them!! Take it there from r&r?!

[cooperlooper]

Yeah they are just waiting for pay day to get rest of cash . If it helps mine are E7 offset and 13x7 with sportspack arches

[Minimad100]

Oh lovely!!! Sounds like they should fit then! Did you have any rubbing issues with your current wheels?!

Mamba's do look the dog's *******!. Just put on 12 x 6" on mine, still doing the arches though.

Ash.

No t with these arches I did with the kast set but bodyshop man made some adjustment to front and they are good but they are close !!!

[Minimad100]

M1100 Yes mate they look sick!!!

Cooperlooper oh really!! I hope mine should be ok as body has been cut for the arches using the template so fingers crossed

[cooperlooper]

If you have got sports pack arches already you should be fine

[Minimad100]

Yeah I hope so! Some people say I will be fine some don't but I think I will I haven't had any problems with my 13x6 sportspack wheels so all should be good hopefully!!!

[cooperlooper]

Ehave you got any mini mates with 7x13 you could try for a day then you should find out if you got problems

[Minimad100]

Unfortunately not I don't know anyone on the mini scene if I'm honest!!

Those mambas look fantastic!

I bought my last set of brand new wheels from Mini Sport. They arrived in October but I didn't open them till February and when I did I discovered one of the wheels had damaged powder coating on the centres.

I sent them an email and they promptly sent me out a replacement and in general were fantastic to deal with!

Highly recommended!
