Hi all,

does anyone know of a company/supplier that may have the Cooper RSP alloys with the holes in line with the spokes?

I know there are many places that do the ones with the holes between, but I'm after the other ones!

Cheers

Ed

Oh and by the way, when I am searching for them, should it be minilites, mini lights, mini lites or mini lights??

I have not seen them new for many years. There are lots of second hand ones on eBay.

Once the hole position change was required for all Japanese export Minis, I would think production of the earlier wheels ceased and the production tooling for Rover was either modified to manufacture the new hole position wheels or the old tooling was scrapped.

Thanks, that figures, there may have also been a metal fatigue issue.

I guess I will need to get an old set and refurb them.

Thanks

Rover minilites. There's two types, mainstream cooper wheels, and rsp/mini 30 wheels. Like you mentioned, It's the location of the holes that gives them away. :)
