Hoping the knowledge on here can help, looking to buy my first classic mini shortly and already looking at what i can do to it.

 

 

 

Does anyone know what these wheels are please? Presuming they are 10" but can't find any that look similar for sale.

 

Also can the silver edging be fitted to sportspack arches or do they need to be group 2/5 etc? 

 

Thanks in advance

Sportpack arches don't have an outer flange to clip the chrome trim to so you would need Group 2 standard or wide arches:-

Yes, Valtain wheels. My friend runs the 10" Valtains  and I run the only 12" Valtains I've ever seen. They are lightweight and come from Japan. Hope you have deep pockets.
