I dont get it. Whats the difference? What do people have and what do they think of them? I really like the look of 13*7 Deep dish superlites. But then there are deepdish ultralites that look the same.
Oh and where is the best place to get them with tyres??Dont need fitting, but want some decent rubber.
And 1 final thing...Finishes...I have been looking at the superlite diamond, ultralite anthracite and chromed but i am worried that although they look great now will they wear and fade. Are these finishes only really for show cars????
Opions please

Both of my Mini's have Superlites. The blue one has 13x7's which looks 'kin quality. Trouble is on both cars the laquer has peeled off around the outside, which I'm not too happy about.

Am i right in thinking that Ultralights are 3 piece wheels where as Suprlights are not?

[Pooky]

Aren't they just three different companies doing one original design?

I always thaught the ultralights were the wheels like the sportspack ones on the newer Coopers. The one with the longer spokes. think they are 13*7.

I have Minilites on my car. Boring I know, i want some starmags!

How long until the lacquer peeled off??? Is this repairable, or do you have to get the wheels reconditioned????

[Sam]

Well both my cars came with the wheels, so I am unsure of the age. Could be repainted or reconditioned pretty easily..

Mine are chrome but they have corroded so much in the 9mths I have had Rab, I wouldn't recommend them. I will be stripping and polishing them to a high standard at the end of the year.
