Cosmic aluminium wheels arches, currently paint black but I'll strip and polish them eventually.

Hi guys, I've just bought some 6j x 10" deep dish wellers with spacers for my mini. I don't want to tube it although I can if it will look better..
What I want to know is does anyone have pics of these wheels with spacers, on a mini that isn't tubed, under any wheel arches. Ideally I'm looking at miglia s....
Car is booked in the shop next week and I need to sort this before its painted :-/
Cheers

 
 
What size spacers?

1" at the front and back. Also the back has spaced drums as well

So I've searched around a bit and haven't been able to find an exact match. My best guess is that these are a sort of Group 5 rendition, but they appear different from the various Group 5 iterations that I can find. The Bullet Group 5s have a bit more slope to them and have more of an edge to their lip. And perhaps I'm seeing things, but these appear to be slightly narrower than the Group 5s that I've found. I like the narrower width and horizontal angle of these arches.

Anyone have a guess? This Mini is located in Japan if that helps.

They look every similar the ABS Motorsport's Group 7 arches. Also I'd love me a set of those 10" RS Watanabe wheels.

They're definitely Sports Packs, just cut off and reshaped above the bumper recess.

Are you guys sure they are sports pack arches? I'm struggling to see how you could possibly get the bottom edge to look soo good?

Just doing some thinking on changing my arches with the overhaul on my Mini.  Will Sportspak arches look silly with 12x5.5 wheels?

Just wondered is there a massive difference between genuine rover sportspack arches and the non genuine ones has anyone fitted the non genuine ones ? £300 seems bit steep for 4 arches. Really want sportspack but not that huge price tag.
