hey guys, im getting a fresh set of 7x13's in october for my red sportspack mini and im really stuck as too what wheels to get! im either going to go for 7x13 deepdish superlite splitrims in gunmetal, in silver or alleycat wheels (bbs looking ones) if anyone could give their opinion and perhaps some photos to back it up, that would be highly appreciated. it might help me make my mind up, lol. 

 

jack.

I like alleycats on minis. Or what about supertrax? They look awesome in stain black!

Supertrax in satin black, I don't much like the idea of 13s but if I was going for them either those or banded steelies as they look good in 13s

You dont need to change the arches for 10s, just need the right wheels. ;)

And you will need a set of steel wheels and send them to be banded, unlikely you will find them for sale. 

I would ask Chris1992 above, looks like hes running 13" banded steelies, I would find out where he got the wheel from as I don't know of a mini fitment 13" steel wheel available. I also cannot help on where to get them banded, my 10" banded steels came from someone on here already banded.

alright cheers. not sure why but i cant stand 10's under sportspacks, they just look far too small in my opinion! lovely mini though.

 Well your opinion is clearly wrong  ;D I personally like the look but I know how much of a pain sportspack arches are to fit and when I fancy a change they leave holes very high up the bodywork. But yes its a gorgeous mini! 

There is a set of Supertrax wheels for sale on eBay currently for £250 ono I believe currently which look to be quite a good buy (no tyres though)
