maybe looking to change wheels from 12's to 10's what is the best kit to buy (it is on discs already) don't need to go nuts with moneywise

 

cheers 

 

also has anyone used jbw (john brown wheels) are they any good

You'll need a kit like the link below, the min choice you'll need to make is genuine calipers or not, & type of pads. Because the car is already on discs you don't need the huns, just the pads, discs, calipers, drive flanges and fixings.

Personnally I used this one, and never had a problem since fitting.

Minisport do them too, as do all the other suppliers.  I link to MS because they make the kit I used, and they're a site sponsor. TMF+ will get you a nice discount  over and above the £5 membership.

Had this done on mine, with the Mini Spares kit. It transformed the car. Rides and handles so much better than it did on the 12"s. Looks better, too, IMO.

165/70 Yokohama A008s. Got them, and the wheels, from Mini Spares at the same time as the kit. At a good price, too.
