They are 6x10 deep dish revolites mate the rear good tyres are Yokohama a008s.
Are you after 145/80/10 tyres? If so bathwick tyres in town have marshalls at £44 each.

Way to many surfboards in my workshop, I run ding devils board repairs and do repairs for nearly all the surf shops in north Devon.
Got the summer mad rush on at the moment so not much time to build the mini.

The club sounds a good idea, I know there is a Tiverton mini owners on facebook.

In an effort to buy some cheap tyres for my MOT, whilst at the same time possibly sourcing some different wheels for my Mini, after trawling Ebay, Gumtree and Facebook asking a million questions (people just don't put much info on adverts), I ended up wining a bid for what look like Weller 10 x 6's that need refurbishing but they are fitted with nearly new 165/70/R10 tyres. Cost me around £80 but I also have to pay for shipping at about £50, may have ended up with a load of CR** but i'll let you know

 

I was also looking at some 10 x 6.5? Ultralites with Falken Tyres (6mm tread) for £150 BIN plus about £40 shipping, these could have done the trick and some GB Alloys with never used tyres which the guy wanted £350 !?@?@£? or best bid, the Ultralites would have gone straight on but the GB Alloys needed a refurb. But the Ebay bug got me and the Steels were finishing first and to avoid getting nothing or paying a lot more than I did I panicked and bought them

 

Anyway the plan is (once I receive them on Tues) if they aren't too bad I'll give them a quick clean up and sick them on the Mini with some Arches, or if they are ropey i'll remove the Tyres fit them to my 10 x 5 Steels (if they fit) and then if these do turn out to be Wellers i'll refurb them and fit them with some better Tyres later on. 

 

Thanks for the info and offers on this thread but I think I may be sorted now?
