Look like 10" reverse rims to me, and no the definitely won't fit over metro brakes! You can get alloy replicas that will fit, due to a stupid offset, but you'll need arches.

i'll have a look! is there a wesite that displays all the 10" wheels that will fit over those brakes?

or do you know of any others??

I think that the only brakes that fit under 10" wheels are the Cooper S ones or just standard drums.
can someone confirm this?

No other 10's will fit over metro brakes unless they are made with a silly offset, you may be able to squeeze on 6/10 wellers with an inch spacer, but it would'nt be good for handling or drivetrain wear.

So if i was to change the brake setup to 7.5" disc setup, my only problem is going to be brake fade (Circuit Driving) yet would prefer the 10" wheels stuck between a rock and a hard place anyone have experiance of the 7.5 setup?????
