So I got some cash for new wheels but now Im stuck on what I want !

so far Ive decided its got to be 12x5 or 12x6 but what ever next...
the car is a red mini city 87.

whats the differance between SUPERLITES and ULTRALITES ?
I like the big lip on the wheels but at this size which has the biggest?

if you're going for alloys I think taht the Revolutions are nice too! I think they look best if they match teh roof colour! I.e. if your car is red witha black roof and black arches then the wheel centres are black too!

Revolutions? the 4 spoke cannon/tractor wheels? You make me sick.


Wellers, baby, yeah!

They're cheaper, too.

Starmags all the way! Proper Bo wheels. Or some super rare MB racing split rims in 13x7. Or some of theose split rim ultralights.
I know they are steel but Wellers look great. Nice and cheap too, just bolt straight on.

it sound to me like u need 6x12 deep dish superlites. the have a realy big lip. and are fairly cheap. make sure u get a decent set of tyres not falkens or the budget ones. yokohama a539's are gud.

or if u prefer u can get revolite wheels with the same size lip, for the same price as the minilites

I must admit that as long a sthey are in good condition and on theright car they can look ok! But they are still not alloys!! Nice cheep way to replace the standard steels though and have seen some that have been sprayed that looked excellent!
