I think it would look better if you had at least 13inch wheels - although I have seen sportspack arches with 12 inch wheels, and if they are spaced out so they are in line with the arch edge then they look ok.

I would also paint the wheels a dark colour like black or gunmetal grey and not white as they tend to look smaller and look silly.

Good luck!

I haven't got any myself, but I intend to get some for my car, and it is always good not to save the pennies and get the 'real deal' with anything body work because you know it will fit. (If it doesn't its your Mini that is wrong )

A lad going by the name of Tom Booth on here used copy sportspack arches and 6x12 superlite style wheels with the big outer dish on them.

Looked as good as using Sportspack wheels I thought, but benefits from being lowered a touch on the rear.

this car had 12 by 6 wheels and sportspack arches.

Although they won't be there for too much longer.

i did the same mate and i tottally agree with you they are the most pain in the ar*e thing i have ever fitted tot he mini

mine looked good for a while then the weather kind of changed them now they look awful but mine was the rubber ones but when ordering i didnt know at the time if you are going for sportspack even if they aint genuine get fibreglass ones lol

[ianpettifer]

Wow
thanks for the replies guys i appreciate it!!!

I just got back form the guys at slark and my mini went on the rolling road. What a difference!!!!!!!!!!

Im gonna leave it a while i think on the arch front. But it seems the fiberglass ones are the way to go

[ProjectMusho]
