Modern repro steel 10 inch wheels

Post by mesrine »

Hello I have a nice set of Dunlop D1's on at the moment, but fancy a set of cooper 10" steels on it....tried to buy a few sets on ebay but they always allude me....what do people think of the repros that are available, any experience with them....good as the originals ?

any comments appreciated before a decision is made

I am fine with my Minisport Cooper S rims, run them with tubes.

Dave (mk1 rally) did have a rear tyre deflate on his whilst giving it the beans at Aintree early this year, worth bearing in mind.
