They measure 4.5x10" and have an alloy rim with stainless spokes. They feature a hub which bolts directly to the existing hub flange/brake drum and then teh wheel is attached to the hub with the knock off nut. They are also available with painted mild steel spokes and inner wheel rim.
However these do not come cheap, at £800 each I think they are going to be quite exclusive.
If you are interested here's the contact details and some pictures of how they look.
Yes, I saw these at the NEC Classic Car Show last November when they were introduced - and the kind chap trying to sell them really was looking for our support (Mini Cooper Register) and views on these wheels. I could only say much the same in that wire wheels look great 'on the right car' - but sadly, in my opinion, a Mini isn't one of them. Now, knock off Minilites, that's different altogether!
Not my cup of tea. They simply look too busy as such a small wheel. I hope the firm succeeds in selling them enough sets but I am not sure who their market will be.
...hideous... similar opinions on the cooper forum before it went down....!!! its just not a good look from any angle.... like fabric roof material... all right on a dolomite !!!! but.......now on an mgb this type of wheel would look the biz !!!!......talking of mgb,s i have a freind who has one laid up...its red,roadworthy but untaxed.. good bodywork for year but nothing special....and nice rostyle wheels on an p plate.... anyone have ideas to its worth ????.....foxy52
I had a Mini just like that one when I was a kid. It wasn't a works one like yours though Pete. You could tell, because it didn't have the rosette sticker.
as heavy as a standard 4.5 'S' rim.
