Can someone please tell me what these wheels are, and are they 7" or 8"? for some reason they look extra aggressive compared to normal minilite style wheels.

 

Also, are they Miglia arches, or some sort of modification based on group 5 euro?

 

Thanks!

i'm guessing group 5 euro arches and 7x13 minilight wheels

Pretty sure they are miglia arches now. Any idea where to buy the wheels? Are they genuine minilights or copies, minilites, ultralites? These wheels seem to have a more round spoke shape.

Also, is it me or do the rear wheels protrude more than the front, like they have a different offset front to rear?

I have to agree that does look rather nice.

The whes may look different due to their colour, kind of gives an illusion that they're different when that might not be the case.

Regards the rear wheels and their position. I can not help but woundedr if this car is running some sort of bike engined space frame setup. I think this mainly because of the roof scoop and rear window vents as you don't usually see this on front engined cars. I could be wrong but this may suggest why the car appears to have a staggered offset.

That looks awesome. Think I want 13s

Thanks. I've been searching for a while and I have found that it's a z-cars conversion with a vtec in the back. Owner username on here is Clements. Just searching now to find out the wheel details.

Thought it may have been rear engined.

I think, if you look in the honda section he has a build thread.

Definitely miglias and some form of minilite/ superlite/ ultralite style wheel

i see where youre coming from, but im still certain theyre miglias.... look at the pic in the first link, and look at the corner at the front of the front arch... its much lower down and more rounded than the original post. plus the arches in the original post have a lip round them.

They're definitely not euros, I have euros and they look Nowt like that. I'd have to agree with the above and say they're Miglias. Awesome looking mini though

Managed to find the original post...
